Why does IMDB have the title wrong?
Why do they have the title wrong on here? It's 'Henry V', is it not?
They get the title wrong on here quite a bit, it seems...

Because that is the title of the play as Shakespear wrote it.
Cry God for Harry, England and St George
IMDB lists titles the way they appear on screen during the title sequence of the film (and more specifically the way they appeared in their original form in their first major screening). If you watch the movie, as the title appears on the screen in the film, this is the full title.

It reads:
"The Chronicle History of Henry the Fift with his battel fought at Agin Court in France"
in the actual movie. Henry V is just an abbreviation ;D
They still got it wrong though lol Henry The Fift ? What does "Fift" mean ?
shareCan't you guess? It means 'Fifth', in Elizabethan English. That's how it was spelt in the original published version.
shareIMDb did get it wrong though - originally Chronicle was spelled Cronicle. It seems whatever you do something always goes wrong.

IMDb didn't get it wrong, the movie did. IMDb used the title that was featured in the movie, which was, as stated above, The Chronicle History of Henry the Fift with his battel fought at Agin Court in France.
Of course, IMDb has now decided to go with the abbreviated Henry V, so... yeah. :P
