''Henry V''' (1387 - 1422), King of [[England]] (1413-1422), eldest son of King [[Henry IV]], was a member of the Plantagenet dynasty of monarchs that ruled medieval England, and in particular of the House of [[Lancaster]], which seized the English throne in 1399 after his father, the Duke of Lancaster, seized power from King [[Richard II]]. He is known for his successful military campaigns in France in the latter stages of the [[Hundred Years' War]], especially his crushing victory at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415; and for his personal character, often described as the personification of medieval virtues.

Henry was born at Monmouth Castle in [[Wales]] in 1387 (though some historians have argued it was actually in 1386), and for that reason was sometimes known as "Henry of Monmouth" in his youth, especially before his father became king. Henry became embroiled in his country’s politics from an early age, being held at the court of Richard II for some time as a hostage for his father's good behavior (though he seems to have been treated well by Richard). After his father had overthrown Richard and been proclaimed king, Henry in turn was named Duke of Lancaster and [[Prince of Wales]] in 1400; within three years, at seventeen, he was fighting [[Owen Glendower]] and the powerful [[Percy]] family in his father’s name and was wounded at [[Shrewsbury]] in the battle that crushed the rebellion.
