WITHOUT HENRY V'S NAVY, the Battle of Agincourt would never have
happened. Henry's fleet played a major - if often unrecognised -
part in enabling the king to come within reach of final victory in
the Hundred Years War against France. Henry's navy was one of the
most successful fleets deployed by England before the time of
Elizabeth I. The royal fleet was transformed in Henry's short reign
from a few dilapidated craft into a powerful weapon of war, with
over thirty fighting vessels, up-to-date technology and four of the
biggest ships in Europe. Drawing from extensive research into
documentary, pictorial and archaeological sources, Henry V's Navy
is about the men, ships and operations of Henry's sea war. Maritime
historian Ian Friel explores everything from shipboard food to how
crews and their ships sailed and fought, and takes an in-depth look
at the royal ships. He also tells the dramatic and bloody story of
the naval conflict, which at times came close to humiliating defeat
for the English.
