Henry V was a great warrior. He was fighting in his teens and even had an arrow go into his skull. The surgeon had to make a special tool to take the tip of the arrow out and be very careful Henry V did not get an infection. Henry V was left with a bad scar but we don’t know what it looked like as there are no paintings of that side of his face….

The ‘Boys in the Tower’ are still one of the great mysteries of the Monarchy. Was Edward V and his brother murdered or did they escape to live a peaceful life
