*Sword. The Henry V sword, replica of this famous Medieval sword, the 72cm double edge blade with curved down swept cross guard, copper wire bound grip and large pommel painted with a red cross, 90cm long overall, in its red leather covered scabbard with brass mounts This replica of the Henry V sword was used by Robert Hardy when he played Henry V in the 1960 television drama series An Age Of Kings, a highly acclaimed threading together of Shakespeare's history plays. Hardy played both Prince Hal and then the young king. Amongst a rich cast, Hal's fiery foil, Hotspur was played by Sean Connery, and the French princess, 'Kate', by Judi Dench-the courting scenes between the young king and his future consort flirtatiously delightful. After the success of the series Hardy was given the sword. He used it again when performing on stage a few years later. The original sword is held within the Westminster Abbey collection, it was lost for years and discovered in a chest at Westminster Abbey. It was supposedly hung above the chantry of Henry V. (1)
