Yeah, I love talking about Henry V, wonderful King. Everyone knows him. Devout Catholic who fought to reclaim France. :)
If only he’d lived and we’d never have heard about the Tudors.

Richard wasn't bad either, as far as a historic person, not so great for England; but then again he wasn't exactly English other than his father - who he hated and drove to his death over the imprisonment of his mother (and other concerns).
But come on, it isn't as if Henry VIII was the greatest of all English Kings, and English history begins and ends with his cleaving off from the Catholic church.

Yes, the Battle of Agincourt — if Henry V HAD won, then France would not have had the Revolution as Henry V had a far more democratic (ok, less autocratic) rule than the Bourbons. Plus, if he had won, this woudl have prevented the French-Ottoman alliance and could have potentially changed the face of history globally.
