Regarding the young Henry v, reading Dan Jones he certainly was a tough nut.
He had a Welsh garrison hung, watched 3 heretics being roasted and he was at the death of Lord Cobham. From what I recall, Lord Cobham was a supporter of the Lollards, one of their leaders, his death was very brutal. He was hanged in chains over a fire and literally burned and slowly roasted to death. This same Prince Hal survived an arrow wound deep into his cheek, down into his skull and 30 days having it removed. No wonder he didn't flinch at atrocities in France and was a good leader of men. He kept order in his sick, rebellious army to win at Agincourt. It's a great pity he returned to the field after his marriage to Katharine de Valois, leaving such a young son on the throne, but that's Henry V.
Yes, this was the punishment for treason, not very nice, a terrible death. If you were noble and lucky, it might be reduced to beheading. Interesting story never heard before, thank you. He was a brave man.
Incidentally, Henry Bolingbroke acquired the crown through treachery. Every criticism is a confession I suppose
