He was crowned King of England on 9 April 1413 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England and styled 'Rex Angliae et Franciae et Dominus Hiberniae.7'
Henry settled the differences between the Court and nobility that had marred the previous reign but ruthlessly put down the Lollards.
Civil war broke out in France and Henry was determined to make the most of this.
He first reinforced his fleet, then on 11 August 1415 he sailed from Southampton for the mouth of the Seine.
His objective was the throne of France. He marched through France with an army of about 5,000 including 4,000 long-bowmen.
At 11.00am on Friday 25 October 1415, St Crispin's Day, he met a French army of 20,000 at Agincourt.
The French lost nearly 10,000 to his 400.
The long bow had again proved virtually unbeatable.
A shadow was cast over this victory because the English killed all their prisoners.
In May 1420 Charles VI of France recognised Henry as heir to the French throne and as Regent during Charles' lifetime.
At home, Henry had the body of the murdered Richard II reburied at Westminster.
Henry had a very strong sense of justice; he had no favourites and brooked no nepotism.
He was strong willed and competent but could be cruel. Generally, his subjects loved him.
His ambition was to lead Western Europe on a Holy Crusade.
