the Surgeon/doctor that saved Henry V clearly knew what the hell he was doing, reading that on the surgery clearly showed he was damn good at what he did and yes to be able to treat royalty he had to be good but remember this was late 1300's early 1400's when the surgery was done, I have read horror stories less scary than some medieval treatments and surgeries.

The late 80s and early 90s saw a veritable revival of the Bards works, almost entirely thanks to Kenneth and Emma ( Thompson ), Brian Blessed, and co. It was a charmed time.

As an American, Henry V stands on my top list of favorite English Kings. I attribute this to when I was 10 years old, I played sick from school, while my mother was at the grocery store, I turned on Starz TV and the 1989 Henry V was on with Kenneth Branagh. It fascinated me with other medieval history, other than The Crusades.

Henry V is one figure in history I always think ‘What if?’ What if he hadn’t died young? What if he managed to continue his French campaign and live long enough to be crowned? What if he had more children? Would he have conquered all of France? Would have come to an agreement and split France in two? Would he have lost it all? Let it slip and fall? Who knows?

As I understand it, Henry V was the first heir to the English throne that was dubbed “Prince of Wales.” Wales had been conquered by England, and at one point the Welsh came to Henry IV and asked him to at least put someone born in Wales in charge of them. Since his own son had been born in Monmouth, he named him the Prince of Wales.

"English longbow" - was actually the Welsh longbow, and one reason why it took so long to "pacify" Wales. Henry saw the potential and had his own longbowmen; Agincourt ensured that it would forever be known as the "English longbow" Isaac Asimov did an essay on it: "The Unsecret Weapon"

[@Simonsvids]

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

The legend I heard it as as a lad. He gave us the “V sign. “ A classic British insult. When the French captured English bowmen, they were supposed to treat them as prisoners of war. Instead, the French decided to cut the bow fingers off every man captured, of an age to wield a bow. When the English received back their men. Missing their bow fingers, they were, understandably, enraged. Upon capturing a party of French nobles & knights, rather than keep them as was custom, in comfort & for ransom, they instead decided to retort by sending their severed heads back towards the French lines, by launching them vis trebuchet. This, apparently was taken by the French to mean. Oh. You wanted to go full savage? Full savage here now. Let’s get primal. The French capitulation was swift. As the French were walked past the English bowmen, those who were maimed by their prior captors help up their hands, as too, did the bowmen who still had their bow fingers. The meaning being. “I still use the bow, you are on “borrowed time” Mon ami. I see you on the field. You die. My Dads dad, my Granddad told me this tale. I have never checked to see if it’s even remotely inaccurate. Such was my granddads gift o the gab.
