Editing Henry V (1989 film) (section)

===Act 4===
In the boisterous French camp the night before the [[Battle of Agincourt]] (1415), the French nobility wait impatiently for the morning, and it is clear that the Dauphin is not popular with the other nobles. In the more sober and silent English camp, following a brief meeting with his brothers, [[Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester|Gloucester]] and [[John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford|Bedford]], together with Sir [[Thomas Erpingham]], Henry decides to look into the state of his troops and wanders his camp in disguise. He meets Pistol, who fails to recognise him. Soon afterwards, he encounters a small group of soldiers, including Bates and Williams, with whom he debates his own culpability for any deaths to follow. He and Williams almost come to blows, and they agree to duel the day after, should they survive. When Williams and his friends leave the King alone, Henry breaks into a monologue about his burdens and prays to God for help.

Next morning, the English Army is outnumbered five to one. Henry encourages his troops with his [[St Crispin's Day Speech]] and responds angrily when Montjoy renews the Dauphin's offer of ransom. The battle begins with the charge of the French cavalry, but the English [[English longbow|archery]] and countercharge cut down a large part of the advancing army before it ever reaches their lines. When the [[Constable of France]] is killed, the dismayed French leaders realise the battle is lost and become desperate. Some of them manage to get behind enemy lines and, deprived of any hope to turn the battle, break the [[chivalry|code of chivalry]] by murdering the young and defenseless English pages (including Robin) and setting fire to the English tents. Henry and his officer [[Fluellen]] come upon the carnage and are still appalled when Montjoy delivers the French surrender.

Henry returns Williams' glove, this time out of disguise, and Williams is shocked to learn that the man he was arguing with the night before was King Henry himself.
