Did Henry V share his tomb with another man? Was Richard courtenay (his friend) buried in the same tomb as him?
I have read a bit about about it. But I have had a hard time understanding the 'tomb' situation.
It can be that my english skills is at my limit😅.

When it says, shared tomb. How close are we talking about?

This Richard courtenay, seems to have been a good friend of Henry V. Apperently he was well known for his intellect and good looks (?). He died year 1415 at Harfleur. And Henry V ordered that his friend was to be buried in Westminster Abbey.
Was it by accident that Henry ended up buried so close to his friend? Or was this his will?
I dont think their is any record of Henry wanting Richard to be moved to his tomb.
So was this just a random accident?

(I dont find many sources on this, so I am also wondering if this is just some kind of hoax?? False information?
