Enrique V : El extraordinario ascenso del legendario rey guerrero de Inglaterra

In the autumn of 1415, a young English king led an exhausted army to an impossible victory. At Agincourt, facing a vastly superior enemy, Henry V defeated the cream of the French nobility and became a legendary figure. After this triumph, he nearly realized the old Angevin dream: that the King of England would also occupy the throne of France. He reigned for less than a decade and died at just thirty-five, but his name became forever linked to the ideal of the warrior king. In this definitive biography, Dan Jones immerses us in the life of one of the most celebrated monarchs of the Middle Ages. Henry V was a brilliant and battle-hardened leader: a cultured and thoughtful ruler who always managed to prevail when it mattered most. Henry, who in his youth miraculously survived an arrow wound lodged in his skull, grew up convinced that he was destined for a mission. As king, he saved England from ruin, quelled internal rebellions, secured its borders, and restored the kingdom to a central role in European politics. Beyond the myth forged by Shakespeare, this work reveals the real man behind the crown. With historical rigor and an irresistible narrative pace, Dan Jones delivers the definitive biography of a colossus of the Middle Ages and essential reading for understanding the Hundred Years' War and how power and leadership were exercised in medieval Europe.
