The map for Henry 5's invasion is completely inaccurate.
When Henry launched his invasion in 1415, 80-90% of gascony was already lost by Edward 3 40 years ago and its only remaining were the cities of Bayonne, Bordeaux and Calais.
The parts showed as France were not france but the royal domain owned directly by the king unlike the other parts owned indirectl by him and directly by nobles but all of theme were still France.
For the comparison, it's like make a map of the holy roman empire but say that the only parts that were HRE were the private lands of the emperor, which is completely inaccurate.
Henry 5 only conquered one city with his campaign in 1415.
It was only between 1417 and 1419 that he conquered Normandy and Normandy alone.
Everything else was then given in 1420 by the duke of Burgundy who controled the northern half of france and allied with Henry 5 because his father was likely murdered by the heir to the throne in 1419.

Correction on Agincourt: a few years later the French started a first resurgence, and had inflicted the English a series of defeats until the Battle of Verneuil, where the French suffered a crushing defeat and lost most of their fighting force.
Then again it's clear why the English-based historians prefer to ignore that, at Verneuil the English archers FAILED MISERABLY against a charge of Milanese knights in full plate (after that attack a number of English troops ran and spread the notice of their own defeat. That's how devastating that single charge was, and the only reason the French lost was that said knights got greedy and attacked the baggage train rather than finish the job, giving the English KNIGHTS AND MEN-AT-ARMS the time to rally and hold the line against the follow-up French charge just long enough for the archers to regroup and start unhorsing the French (because they knew their arrows would fail against plate.

Blackadder's sundial alarm clock didn't go off so he was late leaving for the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 22, 1485. While taking a pee Blackadder accidentally mistook his uncle, King Richard III, for a horse thief and cut his head off. Unfortunately, CPR on the decapitated King Richard III failed to revive him, then Blackadder inadvertently saved the life of the enemy leader, Henry Tudor. So that's how Henry Tudor (Henry VII) became King of England. Lol hahaha

Wow, this video really brings the chaos and drama of late medieval England to life! I was struck by how the Black Death reshaped society, giving peasants more leverage, and how Parliament’s growing power shifted the balance with the monarchy. The Wars of the Roses sound absolutely brutal - especially that bloodbath at Towton. Thanks for laying out this messy, fascinating period so clearly!

Wales very much glossed over in this video, Ireland too. Making it out like Wales and Ireland didn't stand up for themselves in the same way as Scotland. You missed out numerous battles between the Welsh and English and countless rebellions after the annexation in 1282
