Introducing… Season Eight of a Dynasty to Die For

When you survive an arrow shot to the face like Henry V did, you don’t waste your second chance. So when he’s finally crowned in 1413, it’s all systems go.  He ruthlessly slaps down challenges to his rule, and launches a lightning military campaign that puts England back in the big leagues. English rule is restored in France for the first time in generations. His heir will be the first and only English monarch to be crowned King of France.  This is the story of a monarch who became a legend in his own lifetime, and whose mythology still continues to press upon our present… But little did Henry know there’s an original sin at the heart of his reign that’s going to ricochet across England for centuries.  To delve deeper into the history behind each episode, become a This Is History Royal Favourite subscriber.
