Henry V is Shakespeare's most famous "war play"; it includes the storied English victory over the French at Agincourt. Some of it glorifies war, especially the choruses and Henry's speeches urging his troops into battle.

Even in the speeches of Henry and his nobles, there are many chilling references to the human cost of war.
