For the last two plays, (i.e. Henry IV Parts 1 and 2), the man who is now King Henry has been hanging around with theives and prostitutes and that outrageous scoundrel Sir John Falstaff. Word of this has got around, even to France.
So now, Henry is the King and he intends to pursue his claims to the throne of France. The Dauphin (the French Prince of Wales) thinks this is amusing and sends Henry a "tun of treasure" to buy him off. The treasure is just a box of tennis balls, because the French prince, thinking that Henry is still the irresponsible wastrel Prince Hal, jokingly implies that Henry would just as soon play tennis as fight the French. But Henry has changed (or rather he has used the lessons learned in his misspent youth) and is not at all pleased by the Dauphin's joke. The joke stiffens his resolve to invade France still further.
