A bassinet or bassinette is a bed specifically for babies from birth to about four months, and small enough to provide a "cocoon" that small babies find comforting. Henry V (9 August 1387[1] – 31 August 1422) was one of the most significant English warrior kings of the 15th century. He was born at Monmouth, Wales, in the tower above the gatehouse of Monmouth Castle, and reigned as King of England from 1413 to 1422. Monmouth Castle is a castle site in the town of Monmouth, county town of Monmouthshire, south east Wales. Monmouth castle is located close to the centre of Monmouth town on a hill towering over the River Monnow, behind shops and the main square and streets. Once an important border castle, it stood until the English Civil War when it was damaged and changed hands three times before suffering the indignity of slighting to prevent it being fortified again. After partial collapse in 1647, the site was reused and built over by Castle House. It was built by William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford, the castle builder, in around 1067 to 1071 and shares some similarities with Chepstow Castle, another of FitzOsbern's designs further south on the River Wye in Monmouthshire. Initially Monmouth was simply a fairly typical border castle in the Welsh Marches presided over by a Marcher Lord and similar in style and status to its neighbours Grosmont Castle, Skenfrith Castle, White Castle (Wales) or Abergavenny Castle. In 1267 Monmouth Castle passed into the hands of Edmund Crouchback (1245 - 1296), Earl of Lancaster and son of King Henry III of England who redeveloped the castle and expanded it as his main residence in the area. It was also improved by Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster (1310 - 1361). The castle was a favourite residence of Henry Bolingbroke, later King as Henry IV. It was here that in 1387 the future King Henry V of England was born, to Bolingbroke's first wife Mary de Bohun.
