Have a review of the new Dan Jones book Henry V up on Substack.

It's true that Henry V did lead English troops against the French at Agincourt. But it is bothersome that he may be best known for the speech Shakespeare invented about leading his army into battle that day. Many know Kenneth Branagh's version.

What he historically actually may have said was simply, "Fellas, let's go."
