Nearest book is John O'Farrell's An Utterly Impartial History of Britain, and pg 123 is O'Farrell's view of Henry V which does make me feel uncomfortable in my appreciation of Shakespeare's play on the monarch.

"By making his son King of England and France he guaranteed decades of war, death and suffering, plus he had a stupid pudding haircut and a hideous scar on his face.It would have been easy to make Henry V into one of the bad guys. Except that the script, once it had been written, is very hard to change."
