Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King, Dan Jones, c. 2024.
Wow, wow, wow! I doubt I will read this book -- I don't know -- I'm tempted -- I've read so many books on British history, particularly the period surrounding the Wars of Roses. But, as noted, I'm really tempted.
We'll see.
From the linked article:
It is surely an exhausting, perhaps bewildering, time for Henry (the future Henry V) and his brothers. Henry is still only thirteen. Thomas is twelve, John ten, and Humphrey has just turned nine. It has been only one year since their father was exiled, their lives upended, and their futures thrown into uncertainty. Now their father (Henry IV) is the king, and they are knights and princes: the nucleus of a new Lancastrian royal family. Nothing like this has happened in England since the Norman Conquest of 1066.
