Henry V’s Trial by Fire ⚔️ Battle of Shrewsbury, 1403

⚔️ At the start of the 15th century, the once-mighty Kingdom of England finds itself in the grips of major internal unrest. The chaotic rule of Richard II paves the way for his dramatic overthrow by the ambitious Henry Bolingbroke, soon to be crowned Henry IV of Lancaster. But the usurper's grip on power is immediately challenged by Welsh rebellion, Scottish incursions, and the betrayal of former allies, plunging the realm into civil war. On the bloody field by Shrewsbury, King Henry IV and his son, future Henry V, will fight to protect their claim to the fragile crown of England.
