| Summary | "Henry of Monmouth, Volume 2" by James Endell Tyler is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume presents the life and character of Henry V, focusing on his reign as Prince of Wales and King of England. It examines his ascension to the throne, the early years of his governance, and various political and military challenges, including his relations with other nations and notable figures of his time. The opening of this volume details the accession of Henry of Monmouth following the death of his father, Henry IV. It vividly depicts the enthusiasm surrounding Henry's rise to power, emphasizing the public's confidence in his leadership and the heavy weight of responsibility he felt. As the new king, Henry is portrayed as deeply conscious of his duties, showing a blend of humility and a proactive stance in addressing the nation's issues through early parliamentary actions.
