FUNCTIONAL HENRY V SWORD IP-703 Legacy Arms
This sword probably hung above the chantry of King Henry V until it either fell, or was taken down and stowed away in an old chest in a room in the S. Triforium. Henry V, British monarch of the early 15th century, was not just a ruler but an accomplished warrior who began fighting as early as age fourteen, when he fought the Welsh forces of Owain Glyndwr. Throughout his life, Henry V fought in many battles, including against the French in the 100 Years War. It is no wonder then that he would have chosen such a practical, no-nonsense weapon.

Henry V has not only a sword but also a history play written by William Shakespear; probably written around 1599. It covers events during the Hundred Years' War, immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt (1415).
Soon after he becomes king, Henry V is considering making a claim to rule France as well as England.
He asks the Archbishop of Canterbury about how strong his claim is, but it's when the dauphin sends Henry an insulting message that he makes up his mind and decides to invade France.
