Henry V movie plot

2022-10-06 17:29
Before Henry V became a throne, he became a disciple among sensual dogs and horses, but after ascending to the throne, he became a wise king. He was good at using soldiers and managing politics, and he was deeply loved by the people. In order to regain the right of succession to the French throne, Henry V prepared to declare war on the French king. Before mobilizing troops, he discussed with the ministers and priests to determine the legitimacy of the troop mobilization. At this time, the French prince sent envoys to humiliate Henry V, which strengthened his determination to declare war on France. While Henry V was preparing for the battle, three traitors appeared among the ruling and the opposition, but Henry V saw through them and executed them to death. After that, he sent a navy expedition, strictly disciplined, not to insult the French, not to rob them of their finances. In the Battle of Alcuquin, the British army was at an absolute disadvantage, but Henry V comforted the generals as an ordinary soldier and finally won. The French king ceded the land and paid compensation, and betrothed his daughter to Henry V. The two countries formed an alliance forever.

Henry V quotes

  • King Henry V of England: What infinite heart's-ease must kings forgo, that private men enjoy? And what have kings, that privates have not too, save ceremony? And what art thou, thou idle ceremony, that suffer'st more of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers? What drink'st thou oft, instead of homage sweet, but poison'd flattery? O, be sick, great greatness, and bid thy ceremony give thee cure! Canst thou, when thou command'st the beggar's knee, command the health of it? No, thou proud dream, that play'st so subtly with a king's repose; I am a king that find thee, and I know 'tis not the orb and sceptre, crown imperial, the throne he sits on, nor the tide of pomp that beats upon the high shore of this world. Not all these, laid in bed majestical, can sleep so soundly as the wretched slave, who with a body fill'd and vacant mind gets him to rest, cramm'd with distressful bread; never sees horrid night, the child of hell.

  • King Henry V of England: O, God of battles! Steel my soldiers' hearts; possess them not with fear; take from them now the sense of reckoning, lest the opposed numbers pluck their hearts from them.
