 BBC - History - The Myth of Henry V
Henry V is often regarded as one of England's finest Kings.
Henry V, in English myth, is the ideal Englishman: plucky and persevering, austere and audacious, cool-headed, stiff-lipped and effortlessly superior: 'simply the greatest man,' as my generation of undergraduates learned, 'ever to rule England'.
The models are saintly conversion-narratives: St Augustine's, from an unchaste life, or St Paul's, from wickedness to apostleship, or St Thomas Becket's, from a wastrel 'suddenly changed into a new man'.

 Elden Street 'Henry V' Goes Back To Basics (washingtonpost.com)
"Henry V" tells of a callow ruler who assumes power in a way viewed by his foes as illegitimate.
The first item on his agenda is taking England to war against France.
Along the way, Henry reaches deep within himself to find the qualities of leadership that compel soldiers to follow him into horrific battle, exhorting them with one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches, ("We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.

 Britmovie - Henry V (1989)
Branagh's film replaces the patriotic zeal of Laurence Olivier's 1944 version of Henry V with a more sombre manner reflecting the brutality and futility of war, Branagh believing that Henry V was a play in need of rescue from the jingoism of its World War Two associations.
The film’s ending is something of an anti-climax as Henry turns from matters of state to those of the heart, and so his long-drawn-out courtship of French Princess Katherine (Emma Thompson) ensues.
King Charles (Paul Scofield) rebuts Henry’s claim and so the men of England unite to march on France for the possession of Normandy.

 Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Henry V [1944]
For his efforts, Olivier received a special Oscar "for his outstanding achievement as actor, producer, and director in bringing Henry V to the screen".
The definitive call to arms, Laurence Olivier's Henry V is a patriotic saga awash with pageantry, battles, romance and political chicanery.
This version of Henry V thoroughly disappointed me. The theory was good; morale lifting, inspiring courage and belief in the British commandos during WWII, but the result was less than good.

 Henry V Comprehensive Movie Review
Young King Henry V, having recently assumed the throne of England, is urged by the church to claim the crown of France.
Based on history and the plays by William Shakespeare, Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V" is the story of the young English king who makes war with France to rouse his nation and to complete his transition from playful prince to powerful monarch.
French atrocities, including the murdering of the young squires, does not prevent Henry from treating his vanquished foes with mercy and dignity.

 Shakespeare's Saint Crispen's Day Speech
Prior to the Battle, Henry V had led his English footmen across Northwestern France, seizing Calais and other cities in an attempt to win back holds in France that had once been in English possession and to claim the French crown through the obscure but powerful Salig Law.
As a result of the victory the French Princess Catherine was betrothed to Henry V, and France and England were at peace for the remainder of Henry's short life.
He perished of dysentery in 1422, but was survived by his son (Henry VI) and was buried at Westminster Abbey, close to the shrine of Edward the Confessor.
