| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry IV |
| | By the death of the Duke of Anjou, in 1584, Henry of Bourbon became heir-presumptive to the crown of France. | | | Wishing France to have a king who was respected and hostile to heresy, he declared that Henry of Bourbon had forfeited his rights to the throne of France, deprived him of the crown of Navarre, and released his subjects from their oath of fidelity (9 September, 1585). | | | In the name of the Assembly of the Clergy in 1596, Claude d'Augennes de Rambouillet, Bishop of Le Mans, complained to Henry IV of the appointment of unworthy candidates and of children to abbacies and bishoprics. |

| | Holy War in Henry Fifth |
| | The elder Henry plans a holy war against the Turks as a means to quell civil war at home and to ease his conscience for usurping the throne, and his dying words include the advice to his son to 'busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels' to solidify his shaky regime (II Henry IV 4.5.213-14). | | | So Henry V spies on his subjects in the Boar's Head tavern, on his captains and foot soldiers on the night before battle, and on his close friends, Cambridge, Scroop and Grey, at the outset of the French campaign. | | | The attack against France is by implication a substitution for his father's oft- repeated intention to lead a holy crusade to liberate Jerusalem from the Turks. |

| | Mary died in 1394, and in 1403 Henry married Joanna of Navarre, the daughter of Charles d'Evreux, King of Navarre. | | | In 1380 Henry had married Mary de Bohun; they had two daughters and four sons, one of which was the future Henry V of England. | | | The fact that in 1399 Henry had four sons from his first marriage was undoubtedly a clinching factor in his acceptance onto the throne. |

| | Talkin' Broadway Review: Henry IV |
| | The play's first two acts are devoted almost exclusively to Henry IV Part I, leaving only one act for Part II; with so much plot weighing down the first two-thirds of the show, the final act cannot legitimately support itself. | | | It's hard not to wish Matthews had been able to maintain a similar balance between his take on the show and Shakespeare's; his play might then be more wholly successful. | | | Despite running three hours and forty-five minutes in three acts, with the third more filler than fulfilling, Henry IV is still about the breeziest, most efficiently paced show Broadway has seen since Long Day's Journey Into Night opened this past spring. |

| | As the production comes to a close, Prince Hal rises to the office as his father hoped he would and becomes King Henry V. He takes his place on the throne and stares ahead to his future. | | | The pivotal father-son scene involves the prince placing his father's crown upon his own head, thinking the king is dead. | | | His grasp of the power of Shakespeare's language makes King Henry master of his scenes and a formidable figure to be reckoned with. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Arts reviews Henry IV Parts One and Two, Olivier Theatre, London |
| | Bradley's astonishing Henry IV is not some sickly moaner but a headmasterly figure who subjects his truant son to withering irony. | | | You see this right from the start when David Bradley's Henry IV is not glimpsed in some Westminster council chamber: instead he is seen on a smoke-filled public highway alongside which the survivors of "trenching war" are bewailing its victims. | | | And, if his whole reign is beset by riot and civil war, order is emphatically restored with the accession of Henry V. But Shakespeare, with superb even-handedness, shows that the price you pay for social control is repression and expulsion. |
