Henry w. To be king he had no
real claim, even had Richard II been
dead. the rightful heir to the throne
being Edmund, son Of the earl Of
March.
Almost Immediately, Northumber-
land and Hotspur declared war
against Henry, and soon induced the
Welsh under Owen Glendower to join
them. The allies determined to make
Shrewsbury, then a heavily fortified
town. their stronghold, and Hotspur
marched toward the place with an
army Of $4,000 men, sending word to
Glendower that he should meet him
there. Henry ~, however. was too
quick for both Of them He reached
Shrewsbury first, occupied it, and
thus prevented junction between
his opponents armies. Hotspur ar
rived, took up a strong position out
side of Shrewsbury. and, without
waiting for Glendower to make his
appearance. challenged Henry to
come out and fight.
The king was nothing 10TH but first
made an attempt to conciliate Hot

listen. "Then.' said Henry Il pray
God that you may answer for the
blood that shall be split to-day and
not met" and SO he gave orders for
the royal army to move on to the en-
emy. Perhaps what followed is best
told in the words Of a chronicler Of
those days.
eThe battle this old-world writer
says. 9began with dreadful dis
charge. Of arrows from both the front
lines. The Scotch. who were too inn
patient to fight at a distance. rushed
with great fury upon the front lines
of the royal army. and put them Into

on every side. and victory was heeen-

the king brought up his reserve,
which soon turned the scale. Az last,
the rout became general; the rebels
fled in great confusion. and Hotspur,
being resolved 70 sell his life as dear
as possible. rushed into the hottest

Octayla admitted that there were

for her was the bride path IN Cen

Bobbie, her chosen partner in this

would consider him a personal insult.
