{"product_id":"henry-v-holy-warrior-9781476687087","title":"Henry V Holy Warrior","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e   King Henry V saw his reign and military efforts in France as a holy crusade to reclaim the French throne for his ancestors. Almost everything he did was governed by a well-thought-out philosophy that united political power, religious devotion and military success. This book includes the most up-to-date research on Henry V''s reign, with a focus on historiography. His role in English history, as well as his actions as a ruler and military commander, are discussed throughout the text. This approach demonstrates how historians interact with a complicated academic literature that oscillates between hero worship and vilification of Henry. In the end, Henry V is measured by the standards of his day and was unquestionably a successful warrior king.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eList of Maps and Illustrations\tviii\u003cbr\u003eTimeline\u003cbr\u003eThe Central Characters\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Constructing and Deconstructing the Legend of Henry V\u003cbr\u003eThe Measure of Greatness 5\u003cbr\u003eDebating Shakespeare's Warrior King: A Historiographic Overview 8\u003cbr\u003eOne.
