TNGF
SELECTED
King Henry V of England
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the weathered look of a seasoned warrior, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone—a souvenir from the Battle of Shrewsbury. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the practical style of a military commander.
King Charles VI of France
primary
A gaunt man in his early 50s with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, his once-regal bearing now diminished by years of mental instability. His thinning grey hair is carefully groomed for the occasion, but his hands tremble slightly when not resting on the treaty table.
Queen Isabeau of Bavaria
secondary
A woman in her early 50s with a regal bearing, her once-golden hair now streaked with silver and arranged in an elaborate headdress. Her face shows the strain of years of political maneuvering, with sharp, calculating eyes and a mouth set in a line of controlled tension. Her posture is upright, betraying her noble upbringing despite the weight of the moment.
English Herald
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a sense of duty. His posture is upright, reflecting his role as a formal court official.
French Bishop
background
An elderly clergyman with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and thin lips. His white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age. He stands with a slight stoop, bearing the weight of both years and the solemnity of the occasion.
English Guard Captain
background
A battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous campaigns. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings, alert for any threat. His short, dark brown hair is slightly greying at the temples, and he sports a well-trimmed beard.
Dialog
King Henry V of England
By the honor of my house and the sanctity of this treaty, I pledge to uphold the terms laid forth—should they be honored in kind by the French crown.
King Charles VI of France
It... it pleases us to acknowledge this accord, though the weight of it presses heavily upon our heart. The gods bear witness to our consent.
Queen Isabeau of Bavaria
Might it be prudent, noble lords, to consider the stability this union brings to both realms? The people hunger for peace, not further strife.
English Herald
The terms, as inscribed, declare Henry V, by right of marriage and treaty, heir to the throne of France upon the passing of King Charles VI.
King Charles VI of France
You ask too much! Yet... yet we have no choice. The madness of war has left us little room to refuse.
King Henry V of England
This bridge of peace we build today shall endure, Charles, if both sides tread it with honor. Let history remember this moment not as conquest, but as reconciliation.
Queen Isabeau of Bavaria
Then let it be done, and may the saints guide our hands as we sign this fateful document.
