Under Henry’s leadership, England proceeds to lead a “band of brothers” to win a victory against unimaginable odds while the prince of France suffers shame and his men scatter.

Both the way that he interacts with his inferiors and the way that he trusts God instead of himself display the extent of Henry’s humility.

Overall, Shakespeare sends the message that humility is the key to a successful leader that people delight to
