Henry V Lancaster 
Henry V was born on August 9th, 1387 in Monmouth Castle, England.1 Henry V's father was Henry IV Lancaster and his mother was Mary de Bohun. His paternal grandparents were John Plantagenet and Blanche Plantagenet; his maternal grandparents were Humphrey de Bohun and Joan FitzAlan. He had three brothers and two sisters, named Thomas, John, Humphrey, Blanche and Philippa. He was the oldest of the six children. He died at the age of 35 on August 31st, 1422 in France.1 General Notes
Acceded 1413-1422.
Henry V
Soon after his accession, Henry V (reigned 1413-22) laid claim to the French crown. Stern and ruthless, Henry was a brilliant general who had gained military experience in his teens, when he fought alongside his father at the battle of Shewsbury. In 1415, Henry set sail for France, capturing Harfleur. His offer to the French Dauphin of personal combat (Richard I and Edward III had made similar offers in their time) was, like those of his predecessors, refused; he went on to defeat the French at the Battle of Agincourt. In alliance with unreliable Burgundy, and assisted by his brothers (the Dukes of Clarence, Bedford and Gloucester), Henry gained control of Normandy in subsequent campaigns. By the Treaty of Troyes (1420), he gained recognition as heir to the French throne, and married Charles VI's daughter Katherine.
Well educated, Henry had a particular interest in liturgical music; he gave pensions to well-known composers of his time, and a hymn of praise to God, which he ordered sung after Agincourt, still exists. However, Henry's success was short lived and he died of dysentery in 1422 in Bois de Vincennes, France.
