Henriad Henriad is a common title used by scholars for Shakespeare's second historical tetralogy, comprising "Richard II"; "Henry IV, Part 1"; "Henry IV, Part 2"; and "Henry V". The plays depict the destabilising effects of the violation of political continuity with the overthrow of Richard II of England followed by the growth of Henry V of England from a wild youth to a great war leader in "Henry V". Although it was the second tetralogy to be written and performed, the subject matter comes chronologically before the first tetralogy comprising the three "Henry VI" plays and "Richard III". The term "Henriad" derives from the Classical epics the "Iliad" and "Aeneid".

Hundred Years' War (1415–53) The Lancastrian War was the third phase of the Anglo-French Hundred Years' War. It lasted from 1415, when Henry V of England invaded Normandy, to 1453 when the English lost Bordeaux. It followed a long period of peace from the end of the Caroline War in 1389. The phase was named after the House of Lancaster, the ruling house of the Kingdom of England, to which Henry V belonged. After the invasion of 1419, Henry V and, after his death, his brother John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford, brought the English to the height of their power in France, with an English king crowned in Paris. However, by that time, with charismatic leaders such as Joan of Arc and La Hire, and with England losing its main allies, strong French counterattacks had started to win back all English continental territories, except the Pale of Calais (which was only captured in 1558). Charles VII of France was crowned in Notre-Dame de Reims in 1429. The Battle of Castillon (1453) was the last battle of the Hundred Years' War, but France and England remained formally at war until the Treaty of Picquigny in 1475. English, and later British, monarchs would continue to nominally claim the French throne until 1801, though they would never again seriously pursue it.
