Battle of Shrewsbury

On 21st July 1403 - Battle of Shrewsbury

The Earl of Douglas and Hotspur marched together against Henry IV and met him at the Battle of Shrewsbury on 21 July 1403. They were outnumbered and, perhaps in desperation, Hotspur attempted to correct this with a charge aimed at killing King Henry himself. The Royal Standard was overthrown.

Hotspur was killed in this attempt with an arrow through the mouth.
