English king Henry V, painting by an unknown artist; in the National Portrait Gallery, London.
During his methodical conquest of Normandy, Henry V captured numerous important cities and towns. Following his landing in France in 1417, he systematically subjugated the region, securing several key locations, including:
- Harfleur (captured in 1415)
- Caen
- Alençon
- Evreux
- Rouen (captured in 1419 after a long, grueling siege)
By the end of his campaigns, Henry V had successfully seized control of nearly all of Normandy, with the notable exception of Mont-Saint-Michel.12
