  • Henry Iv, Parts One &
    HENRY IV, PARTS ONE & TWO by William Shakespeare Taken together, Shakespeare's major history plays cover the 30-year War of the Roses, a struggle between two great families, descended from King Edward III, for the throne of England. The division begins in “Richard II,” when that king, of the House of York, is deposed by Henry Bolingbroke of the House of Lancaster, who will become Henry IV. The two Henry IV plays take us through this king's reign, ending with the coronation of his ne'er-do-well son, Prince Hal, as Henry V. In subsequent plays, we follow the fortunes of these two families as first one, then the other, assumes the throne, culminating in “Richard III,” which ends with the victory of Henry VII, who ends the War of the Roses by combining both royal lines into the House of Tudor and ruthlessly killing off all claimants to the throne. What gives the Henry IV plays their great appeal is the presence of a fat, rascally knight named Falstaff, with whom Prince Hal spends his youth. Falstaff is one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters and his comedy tends to dominate the action. He was so popular with audiences that Shakespeare had to kill him off in “Henry V,” lest he detract from the heroism of young King Henry V. “Henry IV, Part One,” deals with a rebellion against King Henry by his former allies. The subplot concerns the idle life led by the heir to the throne, Prince Hal, who spends his time with London's riffraff, even going so far as to join them in robbery.

  • The Battle Speeches of Henry V
    The Battle Speeches of Henry V Anne Curry University qfSouthampton In the attack on Constantinople in 1204, when Peter of Amiens saw Murzurphlus spurring his horse towards him, he shouted to his followers Now lords, stand firm' We will have a fight on our hands: see the emperor is coming. Take care that there is no one so bold as to run away. But now resolve to stand firm,l Such scenes arc commonplace in medieval chronicles. As Bllese observed, chroniclers wrote hundreds of battle orations. harangues to the knights before or during combat, that show in detail the kinds of motive appeals the chroniclers believed would be most effective in building morale.' . One of the most famous battle speeches of all must be that of Henry V at Agincourt, well known not from its chronicle versions but from the stirring words of Shakespeare.' Shapiro has alerted us to Shakespeare's use of expressions he heard in daily life as well as those he read in the printed histories which informed his works. In the case of the battle speech, Shapiro detects the influence ofa sermon delivered to the royal court on Ash Wednesday 1599 by Lancelot Anclrewes. 4 The theme was war, the context the preparations for the expedition of the earl of Essex to Ireland. Andrewes' 'thumping reiteration of "this time" and "this day''', Shapiro argues, inspired Shakespeares similarly repeated emphasis on 'St Crispin's day'. Shakespearean scholars have detected other influences on the composition of the speech, ranging from popular sayings,' to biblical passages,6 to accounts of other battles in the histories of Hall and Holinshed.' But Henry V's battle speech has a much longer pedigree which can be traced back to the earliest chronicle narratives of the battle.

It describes a very different country from the one we inhabit today. The Kingdom of England was surrounded by enemies. The Welsh were a subject people, but one which had come within an ace of throwing off English rule only thirty years before. The Scots were inveterate enemies, universally hated in England, especially in the northern counties. The French were a constant threat, much more populous and powerful than the English, and quite determined to reclaim the territories which the King of England still held on to, in Aquitaine and Normandy. Henry V’s startling victory at Agincourt in 1415 seemed like a distant memory three decades later. Superficially, there were many similarities between the England of 1444 and the England of 2014. We had a monarch and a bi-cameral Parliament then, and London dominated the life of the nation financially and politically, while most of the wealth was in the South-East.
