Henry V (England), is born today. Known to be an imposing figure at 6 foot, 3 inches tall, Henry was more of a soldier than Statesman. Believing he had a legal claim to The French Throne (Salic Law), Henry initiated many of the more well known battles of The Hundred Years War (Agincourt, The Siege of Harfleur, to name a few). He died of possible dysentery in France (while on Campaign) – at the age of 35.
