Wedding of Henry V and Katherine de Valois.
Wedding of Henry V and Katherine de Valois.
At the time of their marriage, King Henry’s army was rolling across Normandy and France with great success. He claimed the throne of France and engineered the marriage as a more peaceful way to achieve his ends. By all accounts, however, the king was quite taken with his lovely princess.
