Henry V (1386-1422) was King of England from 1413 until his death at the age of 36 in 1422. He was the second English monarch of the House of Lancaster. He came into political conflict with his father, Henry IV, whose health was increasingly precarious from 1405 onward and who had consequently started to withdraw from government functions. On becoming king, he asserted the pending English claims to the French throne and in 1415, Henry embarked on war with France in the ongoing Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) between the two nations. His military successes culminated in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) and saw him come close to conquering France.
