Henry V was a play written by the Human playwright William Shakespeare, the fourth part of a tetralogy that includes Richard II, Henry IV, Part I and Henry IV, Part II.
In 2293, General Chang quoted the play's lines "Once more unto the breach, dear friends" and "The game's afoot" while his Bird-of-Prey attacked the USS Enterprise-A over Khitomer. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
In 2364, in The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare: The Complete Works, there was an illustration of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ely. This illustration was on display in Captain Jean-Luc Picard's ready room on the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Home Soil", "Coming of Age")
In 2366, Data performed Act 4, Scene 1 of Henry V on the holodeck. The scene featured the characters of Michael Williams and John Bates, and Data played a disguised Henry V. Captain Jean-Luc Picard later quoted from the scene when confronted with a possible war with the Romulans and the destruction of his ship. Data planned to study the performances of Laurence Olivier, Kenneth Branagh, Shapiro and Kullnark as Henry V. (TNG: "The Defector")
In 2370, Henry V was among the literary works selected by Data to better understand Humanity. (TNG: "Emergence")
