I'm not up on this era of World History, but after a quick review, it seems Mr. Brown was quite aware of his facts. Henry the V was kicking the French pretty good on their own soil with a much smaller force. The quote is Shakespeare, from his play Henry V. Apparently, this Henry was promised succession to the French thrown after running roughshod over a good part of Northern France. Henry wanted to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and start another round of the "Crusades". It didn't happen when he died young.
Apparently the French got it all back somewhere along the way. The next Crusade had to wait for another 600 years to pass and the advent of the Longbow helicopter. I'm not sure the new Henry V is up to the old one in diplomacy or skill, as his army is vastly superior to the "neo-French". The previous Longbows couldn't keep France from the French. I guess we'll have to wait and see if the new ones can keep countries from the neo French.
I'm going to take a position agaisnt new Henry's longbows and a position acknowledging Tgraphs. Its an effective weapon when used righteously.
