Published March 2025. The Deeds of King Henry V, or in Latin Henrici Quinti, Angliæ Regis, Gesta, is a first-hand account of the Agincourt Campaign, and subsequent events to his death in 1422. The author of the first part was a Chaplain in King Henry's retinue who was present from King Henry's departure at Southampton in 1415, at the siege of Harfleur, the battle of Agincourt, and the celebrations on King Henry's return to London. The second part, by another writer, relates the events that took place including the negotiations at Troye, Henry's marriage and his death in 1422.

Effigy in Temple Church, London is in Monumental Effigies of Great Britain.
THIS figure must remain unappropriated. It is sculptured in a remarkably fine style. The hands are crossed upon the breast, probably with the same design that the legs of other effigies of this class are placed in a similar position, to indicate their militant profession of the cross. The knight is habited in chain mail, and has a long surcoat of plain drapery, the folds of which are remarkably well understood. The sword depends, as in the effigy of De Mandeville, from the right side.
