But in this engaging study, a different view of Henry emerges: that of a multidimensional ruler of great piety, a hands-on governor who introduced a radically new conception of England’s European role in secular and ecclesiastical affairs. He was also a composer of music, an art patron, and a dutiful king who fully appreciated his obligations towards those he ruled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistorian Malcolm Vale draws on extensive primary archival evidence that includes many documents annotated or endorsed in Henry’s own hand. Focusing on a series of themes—the interaction between king and church, the rise of the English language as a medium of government and politics, the role of ceremony in Henry’s kingship, and more—Vale revises understandings of \u003cem\u003eHenry V\u003c\/em\u003e and his conduct of the everyday affairs of England, Normandy, and the kingdom of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855784104172,"sku":"9780300270075","price":30.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24698493482294.jpg?v=1759277187"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/malcolm-vale.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
