All About History Books
The Deeds of King Henry V, or in Latin Henrici Quinti, Angliæ Regis, Gesta, is a first-hand account of the Agincourt Campaign, and subsequent events to his death in 1422. The author of the first part was a Chaplain in King Henry's retinue who was present from King Henry's departure at Southampton in 1415, at the siege of Harfleur, the battle of Agincourt, and the celebrations on King Henry's return to London. The second part, by another writer, relates the events that took place including the negotiations at Troye, Henry's marriage and his death in 1422.

[4th September 925] And at Kingston he was consecrated king by Athelm, archbishop of Canterbury. In the second year of his reign he gave his sister in marriage, with great solemnity, to Sihtric, king of the Northumbrians, of Danish stock. When Sihtric died a year later, Æthelstan, having driven out Guthfrith, the son of Sihtric, added the kingdom of the Northumbrians to the kingdom of the West Saxons.
