Henry V - Balls

With the recent death of his father, King Henry IV, the young Henry V must live down his wild past and prove himself capable of ruling a restless kingdom. With the encouragement of his advisors, Lords Canterbury and Ely, Henry advances a dubious claim to the throne of France based on his ancestry and on a questionable interpretation of arcane land laws. The Prince of France, known as the Dauphin, responds to Henry’s claim by sending him a treasure chest full of tennis balls. Henry, furious, tells his troops and nobles to prepare for war.
