S8 E8 | The Triumph

We have a small favour to ask! We’ve put together a survey about This Is History, and it would mean a lot to us if you could fill it out. You can find it at: https://bit.ly/4oFyVRg

Fresh from his jaw-dropping triumph at Agincourt, King Henry V rides into London not just as a victor—but as a legend. The city explodes in celebration: mock castles tower over cheering crowds, wine gushes from fountains, and the streets roar with praise for England’s warrior king. But behind the spectacle, Henry is already scheming. Cold, calculating, and relentless, he wastes no time turning glory into power—securing a high-stakes alliance with Sigismund of Luxembourg. The war with France isn’t over. In fact, it’s only just begun. Henry’s next chapter will be bigger, bolder, and even more ruthless.

To learn about how France fared after Agincourt, listen back to The Enemy of My Enemy from our last miniseries, The Glass King.
