Dan Jones on Henry V - England's Greatest Warrior King - Part 1

[@RangerGolfDad]

Dan Jones only made a couple quick visits to the USA to promote this book. For that, I hated missing him in St. Louis in OCT 2024. Hope to meet him soon. Wonderful historian. Tells the histories with such passion and energy. I’m on listen #4 of Henry V.

[@monicarojas819]

I just love Dan Jones. I'm from Bolivia but I'm obsessed with English history. Thanks Dan and congrat.

[@Johnsgotti95]

Thats cool. Made me want to research some bolivian history in return

[@monicarojas819]

Thanks Dan, you are the best. Who knows!, maybe someday.

Love Dan. Proof that a well thought out, well articulated speaker can make anything interesting.

[@j0nnyism]

Yes he has lovely joints

[@MissMarie1377]

The subject matter is interesting. Dan is wonderful, I agree. But I find it astounding that people can manage to make this stuff boring.

[@ferea_896]

He is great, but it isn’t like he is talking about some stupid topic, our history (English history) is incredible especially to the English people, and he’s also talking about one of its greatest kings and one of the greatest periods of time that helped set the stage for in my opinion the most interesting period in our history the wars of the Roses

[@BritGirl-fg9gj]

@MissMarie1377 What was boring? Or was the topic just over your head?

[@iwatchthings231]

Awesome interview. Part two, please.

[@colinellis5243]

Dan Brown is simply an exceptional historian.

[@johnwhitehead4446]

Excellent point about the possibility /probability that Henry V was not scarred by the arrow injury at Shrewsbury. That has been my reading of the events of 1403 for a considerable time, and very good to hear Dan Jones make just the same arguments! I look forward to reading the book.

[@margarettaft2944]

Henry died of dysentery horrible diarrhea

[@DwayneBrue]

Dan Jones is The Greatest! His Book Henry V is Magnificent.

[@finch45lear]

Dr. Bradmore was a genius. The account of how he saved the prince is amazing.

He really was there’s another video on history hit where they really go into it and what he gave him medicines everything

[@cdlong1377]

I just finished The Plantagenets and now I'm on to Henry V. Love Dan's books!

[@franklumanog3043]

Wow I am really astonished by this stuff. Thanks for sharing this! Please keep them coming:)

[@robsniffen7597]

The book is amazing. Can’t put it down.

[@thefilmandmusic]

Henry was brave and a motivator

[@vanessadebrino7231]

Looking forward to reading V this weekend. I wish Dan would have started with Bolingbroke first. Ian Mortiner did a great job but thers hardly any books coveriny the IV Henry

[@stephenryder3331]

Where I can I find part 2? Thanks

[@manofgod321]

Absolute insult to Richard the Lionheart. There was no greater warrior king of England than him. His generalship and courage were unparalleled.

[@SEKreiver]

Jones points out that Henry was "lucky", in that Henry died in his prime. Richard had a sort of downward spiral after the Third Crusade. Also, being a great general/warrior isn't EVERYTHING. I say that as a HUGE Lionheart fan.

[@Darkslide99]

bruh… i need the rest of this?!

[@01Sassoon]

Englands Greatest Warrior King, Edward III.

[@Jake-l7q8w]

Maybe he’ll write a book about Edward III someday.

[@paulm3033]

Yes he was , his kids liked him , he had little or no civil unrest from his nobles or even the plebs lol during a 50 year reign, he was a great leader in every way .

[@jakhaughton1800]

Is it any wonder that Henry V would be a powerful warrior when you look at both his father and grandfather.

[@BrunoJestin7]

Note also that Azincourt is spelled with a Z. English people turned it to Agincourt with a G because Henry V was supposed to speak through his nose.

[@skontheroad]

And he is HOT, HOT, HOT!!! 😅

[@BritGirl-fg9gj]

Yep. Hot and smart.

[@Tsumami__]

I’m here doing important research. For science. I swear.

[@BrunoJestin7]

Interesting to notice how true leaders shone during the 100-year war: Edward III and Henry V on the English side / Charles V and Charles VII on the French side, the latter being able to win it.

[@js8971]

Long bows... Isnt the talk that it wasnt a "french draw" but they actually stepped into the bow.. So anchor, straight arm, step. Theyve done osteo tendon attachment analysis on archers and found load evidence on muscle groups that support this. So dynamic v load etc.

[@JaliseCotton]

I think for the purpose of objective historical analysis we should not equate authorizing a translation of the Bible with “rewriting it”. Further, because the incendiary footnotes of the Geneva Bible could not possibly have been part of the original Holy writings, removing those , would not necessarily be changing religion to suit rulership.

[@DFameSR14]

Edward III is the true warrior king of England

[@skontheroad]

Still have the notes, but don't know which side of the face?? Very odd!

[@CalebMay-bf1ci]

He says in the notes left side but the way he wrote it is ambiguous as to the prince’s left side or his left (Bradmore’s)

[@CalebMay-bf1ci]

And because the portrait profile is left side it has people confused

[@Knightannavonkleve]

Shakespeare is mine -owner of original manuscripts

[@ericneilson1198]

I disagree with the thumbnail. Henry II was a greater warrior king than Henry V.

[@mattinnj979]

Whoa. Slow down. I dare any English King to outdo the Lion hearted did at Asruf

[@jmanjman2685]

Personally I think Richard the Lionheart is the best warrior king because he was a legit warrior who did insane mad lad stuff

[@chaddubois8164]

Henry the V , achieved the impossible for nothing.

[@Guesswho-qk2kv]

Got to disagree and say Edward 3 was the greatest English warrior king

[@margarettaft2944]

Henry 5 was the King who lost all but about 7 square miles of the English possessions in France plus he died in that losing campaign. And left a baby son to b come king. Who was crowned at 6 months old. The English historians glorify 3 battles Henry 5 won. But he lost the war Nothing great about 1. Losing a war. 2 Losing the vast English possessions in France Henry’s losing the war led to vast economic problems in England. All those destitute unpaid soldiers coming home. Plus all the English settlers in the former English territories in France. This is just English chauvinism forget we lost the Hundred Years’ War. But we win 3 battles

[@MissMarie1377]

Did you just watch the podcast with those two old guys saying Henry V was a crap King??

[@thequintanashow5058]

I’m sorry, the book sounds great but Dan Jones just always hits me off as a “look at me” self-promoter Can only take him for like 7 minutes

[@galesal1109]

I think he's great!

[@BritGirl-fg9gj]

I think he's brilliant. I have a master's degree in history and I would love to be half as intelligent. So feel feel free to jog on.

[@thequintanashow5058]

Kate, this is an interview. DAN is supposed to tell us the history. If you want the spotlight…….do your own thing. Don’t pretend to interview someone then have to jump on to show off how much you know. So annoying when the interviewer can’t shut up and let the person being interviewed speak

[@jacobwalsh1888]

Somewhere the Lionheart is turning in his grave. Henry was a great soldier king, but warrior? He was a good warrior, but Richard l was a great warrior.

[@manofgod321]

Amen!

[@LFC-Dan78]

Richard coeur de lion would not be turning in his grave!!! Simply because he couldn't give 2 nobs of butter about the English he just used them to fund his pointless wars in the middle east. He was French through and through didn't speak English spent all of about 6months of his time as king on these shores, rest of time spent crusading or in france. Not even a great warrior as got himself killed for no reason other than to boast his ego by trying to take a non-strategic castle. Yeah a great warrior King of England 😂

He was an absentee King. Good military leader - bad King. Henry V did both well.
