==Characters==
Henry IV: He is the initial king shown in his last days. His kingdom is beset with strife and he seems unable to placate his country. A lot of this has to do with how he came to power, having effectively deposed Richard II and many rebellions resulted because of the issue of succession to the English throne and rebellions and war by Scotland and Wales.
Thomas: The younger son of Henry IV is shown as a would-be king trying to please his father and also jealous of his older brother Hal (or Henry V). He dies in battle, showing poor judgment in launching a battle that did not need to be fought.
Henry V: He is depicted is initially being immature and not wanting to be king. However, initially he wants to support his brother and after his brother's death he sees it is his responsibility in correcting the mistakes of his father by uniting the kingdom. He does not want war with France, but feels he must act after believing French agents attempted to kill him.
