Description

On the 20 March 1413, Henry IV died, the following day the 26-year-old Prince of Wales took the throne as Henry V and was crowned on 9 April at Westminster Abbey. Henry was vulnerable, aware that his position as king was not liked by all around him. The threat of betrayal, murder, or falling out of favour with God looms over him at all times.

I have tried to portray this in a single image.
