Henry V - Routing Source Map
Topic: Henry V — Routing Source Map
1. Source-Control Position
This file preserves the inherited Neville Research wiki trail, corrects its scene locators, and routes each evidentiary lane to a controlling packet. The main hardened play dossier is play henry v.
Routing Verdict
This topic should remain separate as a stable routing hub. Several project files link to it, and it performs a useful negative function by preventing old scene-label and source-tier errors from re-entering the research base. It is not an additional play-analysis dossier and should not be counted as independent corroboration of the main packet.
| research lane | controlling topic | safe use |
|---|---|---|
| play text, letter n-grams, artillery/hunting/BRO controls | play henry v | Main play evidence and limitations. |
| French debt, Henri IV, Essex, Salic Law, summer 1599 | womersley france in henry v neville context | External scholarly context plus direct letter_127 control. |
| Westmoreland and Neville family-title memory | henry v westmorland neville family | Source-history comparison; genealogy and authorship remain bounded. |
| broad French embassy chronology | ambassador to france | Neville's documentary career, not play attribution. |
2. Checked Corrections to the Wiki Trail
- The local wiki identifies David Womersley's 1995 article "France in Shakespeare's Henry V" and the article "The Folio Version of Henry V in Relation to Shakespeare's Times." Womersley has been checked locally; the Folio-version article remains a source lead only.
- The wiki's artillery lane is real, but two scene labels are wrong. The Harfleur "ordnance" and "linstock"/"cannon" lines are in Folger
2.4, not in the Prologue. - The Prologue does contain the hound image: famine, sword, and fire are "Leashed in like hounds."
- Folger
1.1contains the exact phrase "The French ambassador upon that instant," which pairs with Neville v10letter_031in the selected n-gram artifact. - Folger
1.2contains the "gun-stones" passage. - Folger
3.1contains the "greyhounds in the slips" and "game's afoot" passage. - Folger
3.7contains the Dauphin's "I am a hawk" line. - Folger
2.4contains "this chase is hotly followed."
3. Routing and Non-Duplication Rule
Use this file only as a finding aid. Book prose should cite the fuller packet and its sources directly:
- direct play text, v10 letter checks, BRO ordnance lane, Stationers lane, and n-gram caveats: play henry v;
- Womersley secondary-scholarship context: womersley france in henry v neville context;
- Westmoreland/Neville-family lane: henry v westmorland neville family.
Do not cite this routing file for a quotation when the linked controlling packet supplies the Folger lines, letter transcription, Archive.org image, or scholarship page. Its status is ready because its routing and corrections are complete, not because it adds a fifth independent body of evidence.
