I’m just a middle aged mom from America and I didn’t realize such a place existed where a person can study medieval history surrounded with beauty and passion. I’ve missed my calling 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Such a treat to see and listen to someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their subject. Dan's Henry V book is available as an audiobook and is wonderful to listen to because he narrates it himself and his passion shines through. His books have given me a whole new appreciation for the Hollow Crown, the Wars of the Roses and Henry V. Thank you, Dan!
I went immediately to my library and read the book online. The hardback is going in my collection. It helped me fill in the blanks up to Agincourt and afterwards.
Regarding the question about Dan's measure of success, I think the fact that the question was asked at a forum for the release of a biography of a medieval king by an audience member who admits being less than familiar with medieval kings is a huge mark of success.
I didn't know that Henry V was that brutal as a disciplinarian...it would certainly make sense how he won at Angincourt. Only an extremely disciplined army could win that battle despite the overwhelming odds.
This was insightful and entertaining thank you. Fyi i don’t think anyone was really paying attentipn to Charlemagne’s adaptation of henry 5th- we were all lost in his eyes and curls 😅 a beautifully aesthetic fictional film.
Of course you make that statement assuming that his incredible intelligence and dedication to his craft are his most important qualities...right? Obviously! I mean, its obvious to me but some might take offence to objectifying such an admirable man in ALL senses of the word. Otherwise I'm sure there will be comments about how he shouldn't be judged on his looks, double standards and all that "if he was a woman blah blah blah" stuff. Whew, OK, I'm glad we cleared all that up, because gosh, yes he most definitely is!
@@PatrickTower-ln7oiyou’re assuming that if Henry had lived longer he would have continued to be successful. Henry died at his peak, it’s unlikely that he would have been able to continue his success. France would likely still have had a resurgence and driven the English out of France.
@@Timur_aka_Tamerlane obviously it is speculation because Henry V did die when he died, but it’s not baseless, because I’m saying the events that did actually happen would still happen.

What an enjoyable conversation! Julian’s voice I found quite soothing lol and of course Dan is brilliant as always :)
Jones’ new book on Henry V is outstanding!!! The writing style brings Henry to life.
I really enjoyed that, thank you
I love when historians talk about historical dramas in movies and TV. The shade was amazing 😂

I always enjoy his work! He makes history interesting 😊❤
The way he writes his books too, very fun to read.
Hats off to the interviewer as well, he does a really good job in my opinion!
Whoa how awesome 🙂 how did I find this ? This dude is terrific with history 😀

Dan is simply the best historian.

I love love love this topic. Can’t stand hearing any more on the Tudors
Agreed!
The book is fantastic.
gosh, he's a bit of a dish, isn't he? xD
Absolute snack.

Cannibal.
He’s started narrating his audiobooks.
He's also an arrogant arse. Met him at a talk in Bath.
Oh my God Dan is gorgeous!
Eww. He's so plastic. His style is so cringe too
He’s like a chef…
… if you know … you know

More wise than the King ! umm
Henry v didn't do anything special. It was the nobility aligned against the Yorks who brought him out of exile.
I truly wanted to like him as a younger voice on this period in history. But found him quite insufferable rather quickly
Why? He's awesome
Cos he umms and ahhs, constantly sighs and stumbles over sentences seemingly on purpose. It's like his style is bumbling idiot and it's on purpose
Edward III was a much better king than Henry V.
Had Henry V lived longer than we probably would be calling him the greatest King IMO
Absolutely agree!!
