What was one reason for the conflict between Henry IV and Henry V?

  • Religious reforms

  • Inheritance disputes

  • Marriage alliance

  • King’s declining health

Answer

King Henry IV's declining health exacerbated the conflict with his son, Henry V. The physical and mental toll of his illness hindered his ability to govern effectively, leading to increased tensions within the kingdom. This deterioration of Henry IV's health not only affected his rule but also contributed to the growing resentment and challenges to his authority.
