In 'Richard II' (2013) David Tennant plays the title role of the self-centred King of England. His inadequacy as a leader eventually leads to his downfall, but the disgraced monarch undergoes immense psychological trauma before he can accept his fate. In 'Henry IV: Part I' (2014) King Henry (Jasper Britton) is troubled by the behaviour of his son and heir, Prince Hal (Alex Hassell), who has forsaken the Royal Court to waste his time in taverns with the likes of Sir John Falstaff (Antony Sher), an old, fat, jovial drunkard who captivates the young prince with his zest for life. In 'Henry IV: Part II' (2014) the King is confined to his bed with a serious illness, with his son Hal next in line to the throne. Hal's suitability for the role, however, concerns the present king even as his death approaches and Hal takes the decision to spend less time with his friends in preparation for the responsibilities of leadership. 'Henry V' (2015) follows King Henry V (Hassell) as he attempts to conquer France during the Hundred Years' War.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / Box Set</i>

In 'Henry IV - Part I', King Henry IV (Jasper Britton) is troubled by the behaviour of his son and heir, Prince Hal (Alex Hassell), who has forsaken the Royal Court to waste his time in taverns with the likes of Sir John Falstaff (Antony Sher), an old, fat, jovial drunkard who captivates the young prince with his zest for life. In 'Henry IV - Part II', when Henry is confined to his bed with a serious illness it seems likely that Hal will shortly be appointed king. Hal's suitability for the role, however, concerns the present king even as his death approaches and Hal takes the decision to spend less time with his friends in preparation for the responsibilities of leadership. Falstaff, meanwhile, comes out of semi-retirement to raise a small militia. Now getting on in years, the rascal hopes his friendship with Hal will land him the comfortable retirement he seeks, but will Hal be true to his old allies when he finally puts on the crown?<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray</i>
