Synopsis: It’s the 15th century and the Archbishop of Canterbury convinces King Henry V to lay claim to France. He gathers only a small invasion army, leaving many troops in England to quell any potential rebellions. While in camp, Henry disguises himself as a common soldier and mingles with his troops before the battle. The next day at Agincourt, Henry makes the stirring St. Crispin’s Day speech, knowing his army is outnumbered five to one. But, aided by the longbows of his archers, Henry wins the day. He marries Princess Katherine of France and is named as heir to the French throne, therefore securing peace.
