HENRY , called HOTSPUR (1364–1403), eldest son of Henry, 1st See also:earl of See also:Northumberland, was See also:born on the loth of See also:March 1364. He saw active service when he was fourteen at the See also:siege of See also:Berwick. Six years later he was associated with his See also:father in the wardenship of the eastern march of See also:Scotland, and his zeal in border warfare won the name of Hotspur for him from his opponents. In 1386 he was sent to See also:Calais, and raided See also:French territory, but was shortly afterwards recalled to defend See also:England against a See also:naval attack by See also:France. In popular See also:story and ballad he is known as one of the heroes of Otterburn or Chevy See also:Chase, which is the subject of one of. the most stirring recitals of See also:Froissart. In the summer of 1388 the Scots invaded England by way of See also:Carlisle, sending a small See also:body under the earls of See also:Douglas, See also:Mar and See also:Moray to invade Northumberland. The earl of Northumberland remained at See also:Alnwick, but sent his sons Sir Henry and Sir See also:Ralph against the enemy. In See also:hand-to-hand fighting before the walls of See also:Newcastle, Douglas is said to have won Sir Henry's pennon, which he swore to See also:fix upon the walls of See also:Dalkeith. The Scots then retreated to See also:Otter-See also:burn, where Percy, who was See also:bent on recovering his pennon, attacked them on a See also:fine See also:August evening in 1388. Douglas was
slain in the See also:battle, though not, as is stated by See also:Walsingham, by Percy's hand: Henry Percy was captured by Sir See also:John See also:Montgomery, and his See also:brother Ralph by Sir John See also:Maxwell. Hotspur was released on the See also:payment of a heavy See also:ransom, to which See also:Richard II. contributed £3000, and in the autumn his See also:term as See also:warden of Carlisle and the See also:West March was extended to five years. In 1399 together with his father he joined Henry of See also:Lancaster. Henry IV. gave the See also:charge of the West March to Northumberland, while Henry Percy received the castles of See also:Bamburgh, Roxburgh and Berwick, and the wardenship of the See also:East March, with a See also:salary of £3000 in See also:peace See also:- TIME (0.

Meanwhile he wrote demanding arrears of pay, with the See also:threat of resignation if the See also:money were not forthcoming, but the king intimated that the loss of Conway had been due to his See also:negligence, and only sent See also:part of the money. He had the same difficulty in obtaining money for his See also:northern charge that he had experienced in Wales.' Anglesey was taken from him, and he was deprived of Roxburgh Castle in favour of his See also:rival, the earl of See also:Westmorland.

The See also:English archers were provided with a See also:good See also:target in the masses of the Scottish spearmen, and Hotspur was restrained from charging by his ally, See also:George See also:Dunbar, earl of March. The Scottish See also:army was almost destroyed, while the English loss is said to have been five men. Disputes with the king arose over the disposal of the Scottish prisoners, Percy insisting on his right to hold Douglas as his See also:personal prisoner, and he was summoned to See also:court to explain. It is related that when he arrived Henry asked for Douglas, and Hotspur demanded in return that his brother-in-See also:law, See also:Edmund See also:Mortimer, should be allowed to ransom himself from See also:Owen See also:Glendower, with whom he was a prisoner. High words followed, in the course of which Henry called Percy a traitor, struck him on the See also:face, and See also:drew his See also:sword on him Percy is said to have answered this See also:defiance with the words, " Not here, but on the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

due to the money question. Sir J. H. See also:Ramsay (Lancaster and

received from the king the sum of £41,750, which represented a
very large See also:capital in the 14th See also:century, and they had also received
considerable grants of See also:land. King Henry IV. was about to march
north himself to look into the real relations between the Percys
and the Scots, when on the 6th of July 1403 Henry Percy was in
open rebellion.
