King Henry V (1386 – 1422), seen here with his court, was the second English monarch of the House of Lancaster. Henry embarked on war with France in 1415 and his military successes culminated in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) and saw him come close to conquering France. Taking advantage of political divisions within France, he conquered large portions of the kingdom, and Normandy became English for the first time in 200 years.
