Henry V imposes discipline after the Harfleur landing

Henry waits until the whole army has disembarked before announcing rules for its conduct in Normandy. He forbids looting, massacre, and rape. The comic account immediately adds that killing Frenchmen remains permitted, so the orders regulate violence rather than end it. Issuing them after the two-day unloading establishes the terms under which a very large transported force will operate ashore.
