 His journey from drunken layabout to conquering king is in many ways the common concern of the latter three plays of the second tetralogy: he’s mentioned in passing at the end of  Richard II , has a prominent role in the  Henry IV  plays, and ascends to the throne in  Henry V . This narrative would have been well-known to Elizabethan theater-goers, and was depicted in various oral legends and chapbooks.
