Henry V was often a figure of literary imagination and romantic interpretations, often used as a traditional character of a morally great king in the works of many writers, playwrights and dramatists. This is notably so in his depiction in ''[[Henry V (play)|Henry V]],'' a play largely based on the life of Henry V by William Shakespeare. This and other plays about Richard II, Henry V's father Henry IV and son Henry VI are known as the ''[[Henriad]]'' in Shakespearean scholarship. It depicts the king as a pious but cunning ruler who ventured on a campaign to France to become heir to the French throne. This largely acquainted audiences and the wider population with the king's reign and his character as a whole.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rsc.org.uk/henry-v/the-plot |title=The plot &#124; Henry V &#124; Royal Shakespeare Company}}</ref>
