Henry V, a king from the House of Lancaster in the Plantagenet period, was born in Monmouth in 1387 and was an accomplished musician, scholar and soldier. He wanted the Kingdom of France, and so restarted the One Hundred Years war with renewed vigour at the battle of Agincourt. 

The French were decimated and Henry became heir to the throne in the treaty of Troyes. Henry died suddenly of dysentery, abroad in Vincennes, at the age of 35 and never lived to claim the French throne.
