 Day 2 (Thursday, 17 September 2015) – Lower Redbrook to Monmouth (3.5 miles / 5.5 kilometres): … Henry V was born in Monmouth Castle in 1387. This statue of Henry V stands high above Agincourt Square in the centre of the town. In William Shakespeare’s play, Henry V, much is made of King Henry’s origins. At one stage, for example, Henry V says: I wear [the leek] for a memorable honour; For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman. |
