The new and untested King of England attempts to expand his kingdom, battling the French for control of Normandy. The undertaking will require the help of the Church, the citizenry, and most importantly, the common soldier. Henry, new to his throne, slowly comes to terms with the weight of his demands on his former friends and the common man. With a final battle at Agincourt — where the English are outnumbered five to one — Henry has one last chance to defeat the French and win the respect of his people.
