[tintuc]

Henry V History:

Henry V was King of England and a member of the House of Lancaster. Although he only reigned for nine years, he achieved great success on the battlefield. During his reign, the Hundred Years' War between England and France broke out again; Henry took advantage of the internal struggles in France and maintained an alliance with the Duke of Burgundy to great advantage for England. In 1415, he officially invaded France, occupying French territory with an army of archers. In 1419, Henry conquered Normandy, forcing the French king Charles VI to sign the Treaty of Troyes and bringing a resounding victory to England in the Hundred Years' War. Despite his considerable achievements, Henry died of illness in 1422.

In addition to his political and military talents, Henry had great personal charisma. He was praised for his administration of justice, and was known as an impartial and incorruptible judge. He was also known for his love of art and music, and was able to play the harp and Welsh pipe. He was a devout Christian and forbade his soldiers from ransacking churches during his conquest of France.

Henry V Review:

Henry V is the second best Archer commander after Boudica Prime.

Henry V and Boudica Prime are good archer meta commanders. Even the best Cavalry commanders (Xiang Yu/Nevsky) will be defeated by the Boudica Prime/Henry V combination.

He is very effective in leading rallies against enemy structures.

Due to the massive damage in both Henry V and Boudica Prime's active skills, they will outperform any other commander combination even in open combat.
