  1. HENRY V:
    Henry V was the King of England from the year 1413 until his death at the age of 35.
    Can anyone calculate how many years he lived for?
    Henry V was very famous as people saw him come close to conquering France in the Hundred Years War (Battle of Agincourt)
    Does anyone know who Henry's cousin was called?

  3. Hi everyone,
    It's Kayde speaking. Most people might not know, but I'm really good at History.
    King Henry the V invaded France because the Monarchy in England was losing money, so they invaded to get land and money.
