But in this exciting, thoroughly researched volume a different view of Henry emerges: a multidimensional ruler of great piety, a hands-on governor who introduced a radically new conception of England's European role in secular and ecclesiastical affairs, a composer of music, an art patron, and a dutiful king who fully appreciated his obligations toward those he ruled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Historian Malcolm Vale draws on extensive primary archival evidence that includes many documents annotated or endorsed in Henry's own hand. Focusing on a series of themes--the interaction between king and church, the rise of the English language as a medium of government and politics, the role of ceremony in Henry's kingship, and more--Vale revises understandings of Henry V and his conduct of the everyday affairs of England, Normandy, and the kingdom of France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Vale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300270070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300270075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs","brand":"Malcolm Vale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080004858111,"sku":"9780300270075","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_687dbffd-9ef1-4ddb-97f7-96f0121ca245.jpg?v=1685484398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henry-v-malcolm-vale-9780300270075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
