After military experience fighting the Welsh during the Revolt of Owain Glyn Dwr, and against the powerful aristocratic Percys of Northumberland at The Battle of Shrewsbury, Henry came into political conflict with his father, whose health was increasingly precarious from 1405 onward.
After his father's death in 1413, Henry assumed control of The Country and embarked on war with France in the ongoing Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) between the two Nations. His military successes culminated in his famous victory at The Battle of Agincourt (1415) and saw him come close to conquering France.
Edward of Langley, 2nd Duke of York, KG (1373 – 25 October 1415), was the eldest son of Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, by his first wife Isabella of Castile, and the grandson of Edward III. He held significant appointments during the reigns of three Monarchs, Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V, and was slain at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.
Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Pembroke, KG (3 October 1390 – 23 February 1447), was "son, brother and uncle of Kings", being the fourth and youngest son of King Henry IV of England by his first wife, Mary de Bohun, brother to King Henry V of England, and uncle to the latter's son, King Henry VI of England.
As a son of The Sovereign, Humphrey bore The Arms of The Kingdom, Differenced by a Bordure Argent. [A Bordure Argent is a Silver Border].

Once more, unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead !
In Peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof !
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from Morn’ till Even’ fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good Yeomen,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry “ God for Harry, England, and Saint George ! ”

What’s he that wishes so ?
My cousin Westmoreland ?
No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark’d to die, we are enough
To do our Country loss; and if to live
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s Will !, I Pray thee, wish not one man more.
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this Feast,
Let him depart; his passport shall be drawn
And Crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called The Feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly, on The Vigil, feast his neighbours,
And say: “To-morrow is Saint Crispian”:
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say: “These wounds I had on Crispin’s Day”.
Old men forget: Yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: Then shall our names
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry The King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the World,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so base,
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap while any speaks
That fought with us
upon Saint Crispin’s Day.

Charles d'Albret (died 25 October 1415) was Constable of France from 1402 until 1411, and again from 1413 until 1415. He was also the Co-Commander of the French Army at the Battle of Agincourt, where he was killed by the English Army led by King Henry V.
Jean II Le Maingre (in Old French, Jehan le Meingre), called Boucicaut (1366 — 1421) was Marshal of France and a Knight renowned for his military skill. In the Battle of Agincourt, 1415, he Commanded the French Vanguard, but was captured by the English and died six years later in Yorkshire.
Charles of Orléans (1394 – 1465) was Duke of Orléans from 1407. Charles was one of the many French noblemen at the Battle of Agincourt. He was discovered un-wounded, but trapped under a pile of corpses, incapacitated by the weight of his own armour. He was taken prisoner by the English, and spent the next twenty-four years being moved from one Castle to another in England.

Text from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal,
unless stated otherwise.
Raphæl (Standard Hebrew רָפָאֵל, Rāfāʾēl, "It Is God Who Heals", "God Heals", "God, Please Heal") is an Archangel of Judaism and Christianity, who, in The Judeo-Christian Tradition, performs all manner of healing. In Islam, Raphæl is the same as Israfil. Raphæl is mentioned in The Book of Tobit, which is accepted as Canonical by Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglo-Catholics, and as useful for public teaching by Lutherans and Anglicans.
The Angels, mentioned in The Torah, the older Books of The Hebrew Bible, are without names. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish of Tiberias (230 A.D. – 270 A.D.), asserted that all the specific names for The Angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon, and modern commentators would tend to agree.
Raphael is named in several Jewish Apocryphal Books (see below).
The Archangel Raphael bound Azazel under a desert, which was called Dudael, according to Enoch 10:4–6:

The Archangel Raphael bound Azazel under a desert, which was called Dudael, according to Enoch 10:4–6:
And again The Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness; and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And, on the day of The Great Judgement, he shall be cast into The Fire.

Of seven Archangels in The Angelology of Post-Exilic Judaism, only Michæl, mentioned as Archangel (Daniel 12:1; Jude, verse 9), and Gabriel, are mentioned by name in The Scriptures that came to be accepted as Canonical by all Christians.
The name of the Angel Raphael, appears only in The Deuterocanonical Book of Tobit. The Book of Tobit is considered Canonical by Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglicans. Raphael first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of Tobit's son, Tobiah (Greek: Τωβίας/Tobias), calling himself "Azarias, the son of the great Ananias". During the course of the journey, the Archangel's protective influence is shown in many ways, including the binding of a demon in the desert of Upper Egypt. After returning, and healing the blind Tobit, Azarias makes himself known as "The Angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before The Lord" (Tobit 12:15). He is often Venerated and Patronised as Saint Raphael The Archangel.
Regarding the healing powers attributed to Raphael, we have his declaration to Tobit (Tobit, 12) that he was sent by The Lord to heal him of his blindness and to deliver Sarah, his future daughter-in-law, from the demon Asmodeus, who kills every man she marries, on their wedding night, before the marriage can be consummated.

In The New Testament, only The Archangels Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name (Luke 1:9-26; Jude 1:9). Later manuscripts of John 5:1-4 refer to The Pool at Bethesda, where the multitude of the infirm lay, awaiting the moving of the water, for "an Angel of The Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond, after the motion of the water, was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under". Because of the healing role assigned to Raphael, this particular Angel is generally associated with The Archangel.
Raphael is sometimes shown as standing atop a large fish, or holding a caught fish at the end of a line. This is a reference to The Book of Tobit (Tobias), where he told Tobias to catch a fish, and then uses the gall-bladder to heal Tobit's eyes, and to drive away Asmodeus by burning the heart and liver.
Due to his actions in The Book of Tobit and the Gospel of John, Saint Raphael is accounted Patron of travellers, the blind, happy meetings, nurses, physicians, medical workers, matchmakers, Christian marriage, and Catholic studies.

As a particular enemy of the devil, he was revered in Catholic Europe as a special protector of Catholic sailors. On a corner of Venice’s famous Doge’s Palace, there is a Relief, depicting Raphael holding a scroll, on which is written: "Efficia fretum quietum" (“Keep the Gulf quiet”).
On 8 July 1497, when Vasco Da Gama set forth from Lisbon, Portugal, with his four-ship fleet to sail to India, the flagship was named, at the King of Portugal’s insistence, Saint Raphael. When the flotilla reached The Cape of Good Hope on 22 October 1497, the sailors disembarked and erected a Column in The Archangel’s honour. The little statue of Saint Raphael, that accompanied Da Gama on the voyage, is now in The Naval Museum in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Feast Day of Raphael was included for the first time in The General Roman Calendar in the year 1921, for Celebration on 24 October [Editor: Pope Benedict XV extended The Feast of Saint Raphael to the whole Catholic Church in 1921]. With the reform of The Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints in 1969, this Feast was Transferred to 29 September, for Celebration together with Saints Michael and Gabriel (both Archangels). Due to Pope Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum, The Roman Catholic Church still permits use of The 1962 Calendar, allowing both Feast Days.

The Archangel Raphæl is said to have appeared in Cordoba, Spain, during the 16th-Century; in response to the City’s appeal, Pope Innocent X allowed the local Celebration of a Feast in The Archangel’s honour on 7 May, the date of the principal Apparition.
Saint John of God, Founder of The Hospital Order that bears his name, is also said to have received Visitations from Saint Raphæl, who encouraged and instructed him. In tribute to this, many of The Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God’s facilities are called “Raphæl Centres”, to this day. The 18th-Century Neapolitan Nun, Saint Maria Francesca of The Five Wounds, is also said to have seen an Apparition of Raphæl.
Raphael is honoured in Islam as one of the great Archangels and is known more commonly as "Israfil" or "Israfel" in Islamic history.

According to “The Hadith”, he is the Angel responsible for signalling the coming of Judgement Day by blowing the trumpet (namely Sûr). According to Tradition, the trumpet will be blown three times.
The first blow of the trumpet will signal the beginning of The Last Day and the second blow will signal the death of all living things, and the third blow will signal the time when all the Souls from all ages will be gathered for The Last Judgement. According to The Quran, an unnamed Trumpet-Angel, assumed to be Israfel, has been holding his breath, waiting for Allah's order to blow the Sûr.
The Angel Raphael, along with many other prominent Angels, appears in John Milton's Paradise Lost, in which he is assigned by God to re-warn Adam concerning the sin of eating of The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. He also expounds to Adam, the War in Heaven, in which Lucifer and the demons fell, and the creation of the Earth.

Saint Raphael is one of The Seven Spirits who always stand before The Lord (Antiphon at The Magnificat) and offer Him the Incense of their Adoration and that of men (Offertory).
"While thou didst Pray with tears," he declared to Tobias, "and didst bury the dead, and didst leave thy dinner to conceal the dead in thy house by day, and by night didst bury them, I presented thy Prayer unto The Lord. And because thy wast agreeable to The Lord, it was necessary that temptation should try thee" (Second Lesson at Matins).
Tobias became blind. "The loss of his eye-sight," says Saint Augustine, "was the occasion for the old man to receive an Angelical physician" (Fourth Lesson at Matins).
Saint Raphael, a name meaning "God Heals", was sent by God to cure Tobias, as He sent the Angel who moved the water in the pool called Probatica (Gospel). He told the younger Tobias what remedy he was to use to restore his father's sight, accompanied and protected the young man on his journey, helped him to find a wife, and warded off the wiles of the devil.
"We praise with sentiments of Veneration," The Church sings, "all The Princes of The Heavenly Court, but in a special manner The Archangel Raphael, healer and faithful companion, who chained down the devil under his power.
"O, Christ, King of all goodness, by giving us such a guardian, make it impossible for the enemy to do us harm" (Hymn).
"May The Angel Raphael, physician of our Salvation, help us from The Heights of Heaven, heal all diseases and guide our faltering steps towards The True Life" (Hymn at Lauds).
Pope Benedict XV extended Saint Raphael The Archangel's Feast Day to The Universal Church in 1921.
