"The Life of King Henry V" by William Shakespeare is a historical play written during the late 16th century. This dramatic work revolves around the young King Henry V of England, highlighting his transformation from a wayward prince to a formidable ruler who leads his country into war against France. The play explores themes of leadership, honor, and the complexities of war. At the start of the play, a Chorus introduces the audience to the context of King Henry's reign and his claim to the French throne. The opening scenes feature the Archbishop of Canterbury discussing a proposed bill that could threaten the Church's landholdings and Henry's desire to assert his claim to France.

The prologue sets a tone of anticipation for the ensuing conflict, foreshadowing the challenges Henry will face as he prepares to assert himself on the battlefield.
