The action of this scene follows the pattern of . Henry V gives orders to his nobles and then receives a visit from the proud French Herald. As with the previous scene, the SQM company used the scene to ensure allegiance to the English king by emphasizing the Herald’s pride and the English king’s courage courage in the face of adversity as he returns the French nobles’ insulting request for ransom with mockery and threats of his own. Paul Hopkins (Henry V) also cast the audience as the English army as he rallied his troops for battle.
