Here was my meaning:

FLUELLEN.
Your majesty says very true: if your majesties is
remembered of it, the Welshmen did good service in a
garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their
Monmouth caps; which, your majesty know, to this
hour is an honourable badge of the service; and I do
believe your majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek
upon Saint Tavy's day.
HENRY V.
I wear it for a memorable honour;
For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman.
FLUELLEN.
All the water in Wye cannot wash your majesty's
Welsh plood out of your pody, I can tell you that:
God pless it and preserve it, as long as it pleases
his grace, and his majesty too!
HENRY V.
Thanks, good my countryman.
. . .

Henry was indeed born in Monmouth Castle, Monmouthshire, Wales, on August 9, 1387.

I would add Mogadishu to the list of great battles in history.

Then I shall have to update my references. In my defense, my primary interest is naval, not cavalry.
