Britannia.com's page on Henry V gave me a short summary of King Henry V's life as a child and as a king. The page is simple, short, and to the point. It also provided me with a good picture of Henry V, which I used in my site. The main reason why I used this particular website from The Voice of the Shuttle is because it provided a section that showed Henry V's genealogy.
There was a part of my paper in which I gave somewhat of an explanation of Henry's claim to France, and I needed a sort of family tree of Henry to find exactly how his claim could be made. Plus I was just interested myself as to what exactly made Henry think he had claim over France, and how so. I did not really understand the explanation of the story in the play itself, so I decided to find out myself.
This site provides a very informative family tree, setup through links, which gave me the information that I was searching for - Who allowed Henry to call himself French, and How? From the site I discovered that it was Isabella, Henry's great great grandmother, that allowed Henry to make his claim. That allowed me to then search for a separate site, which gave the story of how Isabella, French, had a son, King Edward III, who became king of England.
The site is, like I said, very simple and straightforward. It does little more than provide a short summary of Henry's life, and his genealogy. But it was perfect for my needs in the paper.
