In which the noble Chorus doth beseech the gentle audience’s fancy to conjure forth the vast fields of France and the stirring personage of young Harry, whose once wild spirit now awakens to glorious enterprise. Within the hallowed halls of counsel, grave Bishops and lords unfold the weighty matters of crowns, claims, and impending conflict, as England’s king girds himself with purpose to confront the challenges that beckon from across the sea.
