PINT-SIZED HISTORY TAKES ON THE ENGLISH WARRIOR KING!⚔️


In this episode, Zack and Joe dive into the legendary reign of Henry V, one of England’s most formidable warrior kings.


From an unknown in the cadet branch of the Plantagenet Dynasty to his rise to power and his decision to invade France, leading to the famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415), we unravel how this ambitious ruler changed the course of English and French history forever.


Was Henry V truly the brilliant tactician and inspiring leader Shakespeare made him out to be? Or was he just another medieval king with a lucky streak?


We separate fact from legend, exploring his military genius, his brutal military campaigns in France, and his untimely death that left England’s future uncertain.


Expect epic battles, bold strategies, and royal drama akin to HBO's drama Game of Thrones —with Zack delivering the history and Joe questioning everything he says.


🔥Grab a drink, hit play, and march with us into the world of Henry V!
