About This Item
Woodbridge: Boydell & Brewer, 2022. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. A fine new copy. Before Henry V set out in 1415 on the campaign which culminated in victory at Agincourt, he made a will laying down precise instructions for a chantry chapel to be constructed in Westminster Abbey after his death, so that he could be buried close to his saintly ancestor Edward the Confessor. Seven years later the king died at Vincennes, and his body was brought back for burial in the Abbey; the elaborate funeral took place on 7 November 1422. His chapel was probably finally completed in the 1440s, and remains a distinctive feature of Westminster Abbey to this day. Hardback 294 pages, 175 colour and 33 b/w illus..
