So much to choose from today, but here goes: on this date in 1413, Henry V was crowned King of England. He would later hold dominion over much of France before an early death from dysentery.
Something I did not know about Henry V: he invented the passport.
He also gave some good speeches.
Love that clip. "I pray thee bear my former answer back. Bid them achieve me and then sell my bones. God God! Why should they mock poor fellows thus!"
I posted it once on facebook when after a crash several friends suggested that perhaps I should give up inline skating.
