Good series on Henry 4th/5th. Interesting as an American to hear it from British guys who, despite being historians clearly have some mythological pride around Henry 5th.

Especially interesting after hearing them do a dispassionate series on the American Revolution that Americans have that same mythological pride about. 

I imagine countries that are/have been great empires have a wider range of these mythologies but there have to be smaller countries that also have some very interesting secular national mythologies like this.

It's fascinating to see how national mythologies shape our understanding of history. Smaller countries often have rich, unique stories too. Any favorites?
