author:Silent Weaver

In Shakespeare's early historical dramas, most of them wrote about tyrants who usurped the throne, and only Henry V was portrayed as an ideal monarch.

Henry V was born on 16 September 1387. He has a long face, a straight nose, a broad forehead, and a slender body. When he was young, he was still a clumsy boy, debauched and unruly. But after replacing his younger brother on the throne in the early 15th century, his style of painting changed dramatically, he was shrewd, capable, ruthless, efficient, and ambitious, and was one of the greatest monarchs in English history.

Henry V was obsessed with attacking France, and everything related to the conquest of France was his own hands, no matter how big or small. In the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V was forced into a desperate situation with more than 20,000 French troops of 6,000 pairs, but this desperate situation did not defeat the god of war, but instead made a sensational speech at the time of the desperate situation, which completely boosted morale, and finally won a great victory over France, the French king gave his daughter To Henry and established Henry as the heir to the throne.

Shakespeare describes for us the scene, and before the battle began, the king gave a speech: "Whoever does not have the heart to fight this battle, let him leave the team." We gave him a letter card and asked him to bring silver dollars for a coil, and since he did not want to serve the country with us, we did not want to die with him. The elderly person has a poor memory, but even if he forgets everything, he will recall the achievements he has done like several family treasures... Our brothers, who share the same life and death, will be my brothers to all those who share the bloody battlefield with me today. No matter how humble and low his status is... The sleeping gentleman at this moment will one day complain that he was unlucky and did not come here..." When his general exclaimed that it would be better if we had ten thousand more, Henry V replied: "I would not want to add even one more person, and one more person will share in my glory." ”
