Yes, I know. You included it in a list of fiction.

Henry V is not a historical accounting of the life of Henry V. That’s like saying Saving Private Ryan is non-fiction because the invasion of Normandy really did happen.

Shakespeare included historical elements, but it wasn’t a scholarly look at the history. It was a rousing good story about some of England’s great victories over France.
