@ijustlovetea You know what's creepy? The note that was anonymously written to John Howard right before the battle..warning him that King Richard would be betrayed!! (and it rhymed too!!) Talk about foreboding!! cheers.

@Apophisguard I think it lasted about 119 years.

Not much of a turn out for the battle, there was more than that fighting 2200 in total.

@Apophisguard I think there's some understandable confusion between when Henry V ruled and two different war series. Depending on who you consult, the 100 years war ran from about 1337 to 1453, which overlapped Henry V's reign that ended in 1422. Henry V's only son was born in 1420 and inherited the title when Henry V died. The war that often gets confused with the 100 years war, is often called the Wars of the Roses, aka Cousin's War--1455 to 1485 (Battle of Bosworth) or 1487 (Battle of Stoke)

@dambram the French crown. Henry V only invaded because he was put up to it by the church, (who wanted to stop him taking their vast wealth). And the "war" DID NOT last 100 years! Some say more, some say less. Scholars are divided on when it ended, 15th century? some say 14th century. It depends on your point of view.

Now go away and let the grown-ups have their discussion.

@dambram Go away and have a look at your history. The Hundred years war started because of Edward III's claim to the French throne. It wasn't a single war, but a collection of different conflicts, again all due to the kings of England and their legitimate claim on

@dambram are you barking queer?

[Apophisguard]

@dambram No, stating a fact!

The Hundred Years War was well before Henry V, it was during the reign of Edward III I believe and didn't last 100 years.
