I have recently read Ian Mortimer's new book on King Henry V and I really enjoyed it. It's a thrill, since Mortimer doesn't just focus on Agincourt but also on the Council of Constance, the Earl of Cambridge's plot against Henry V, and the siege of Harfluer. Henry is not built up into this Shakespearian hero, but brought down from literature and back into history, where we see that Henry was not Dashing king Henry but Cruel King Henry. This book is very fascinating.
