We have a small favour to ask! We’ve put together a survey about This Is History, and it would mean a lot to us if you could fill it out. You can find it at: <a href="https://bit.ly/4oFyVRg">https://bit.ly/4oFyVRg</a> 
In northern France, Henry V spots a glaring weakness — an undefended flank begging to be conquered. It’s the perfect chance to flip the script on history and avenge England’s humiliation in 1066, when William the Conqueror launched his invasion from Caen. Now, Henry storms that very town, rewriting the legacy of Normandy with fire and steel.
But while victory brews abroad, rebellion festers at home. The infamous Lollard heretic John Oldcastle resurfaces in Wales — defiant, dangerous, and utterly unrepentant. The crown may be winning battles, but the war for England’s soul is far from over.
To learn more about the last time a Norman took the English throne, listen back to episode 3, season 1 — <a href="https://pod.link/1641568639/episode/Y2M2NDJjN2MtNGJlMC00OTM4LTkwZDAtYjM1YTQ4MDcxYzY3">Rough Crossings </a>— where Henry II settles a civil war.
