All characters existed in real life, except John Falstaff. In Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, William Shakespeare based Falstaff loosely on the historical Sir John Oldcastle, a companion of Prince Henry. He renamed the character because of Oldcastle's powerful family.
Timothée Chalamet stated that his funniest memory from filming was seeing Robert Pattinson vaping on set, in full armor and make-up.
The scar on Henry's cheek is historically accurate. The real Henry V was struck in the face by an arrow at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, when he was 16 years old. In the movie, it's the scene in which Henry fights Percy Hotspur. The arrow was removed, but it left a permanent scar.
The battle of Agincourt was filmed in two weeks, with 300 men and 80 horses, in a field in Hungary. To achieve a muddy battlefield, the crew would let horses run over it. The weather was so hot that the mud kept drying up in between takes, so they moved the battlefield to the left and did the same process again.
The Dauphin's heavily French-accented English was intentional, to better insult and disrespect King Henry. David Michôd cast Robert Pattinson very early in the writing process because he needed the Dauphin to "pop out", stating "I love how bold Rob is, I wanted him to go nuts with it. His whole purpose is to be a jerk and to just torment Hal. So I kind of needed him to be a larger-than-life jerk. He needed to be ridiculous. I just knew that he would want to sink his teeth into this character and that he would make it fun."
"Sir John Falstaff: A king has no friends. Only followers and foe."
"Hal: You expect of me a speech? I have only one to give - and it is the same one I'd give were we not standing on the brim of a battlefield. It is the same one I'd give were we to meet in the street by chance! I have only ever hoped for one thing... to see this kingdom united under this English crown! All men are born to die. We know it. We carry it with us always. If your day be today, so be it! Mine will be tomorrow! Or mine today and yours tomorrow. It matters not. What matters is that you know, in your hearts, that today you are that kingdom united. You are England. Each and every one of you - England is you! And it is the space between you. Fight not for yourselves, fight for that space! Fill that space! Make it tissue! Make it mass! Make it impenetrable! Make it yours! Make it England! Make it England! Great men to it. Captains, Lords, great men to it!"
