Product Description

Without Henry V’s Navy, the Battle of Agincourt would never have happened.

Henry’s fleet played a major – if often unrecognised – part in enabling the king to come within reach of final victory in the Hundred Years War against France.

Henry’s navy was multinational, & comprised his own royal fleet, English merchantmen & many foreign vessels from the Netherlands, the Baltic & Venice. It was one of the most successful fleets deployed by England before the time of Elizabeth I.

The royal fleet was transformed in Henry’s short reign from a few dilapidated craft into a powerful weapon of war, with over thirty fighting vessels, up-to-date technology & four of the biggest ships in Europe.
