On This Day In Royal History . 21 July 1403

The Battle of Shrewsbury

Lancastrian King Henry IV, faced a rebel army led by Henry “Harry Hotspur” Percy. The battle, the 1st in which English archers fought each other on English soil, reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow & ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England.

About two hours before dusk, Henry IV raised his sword. The battle opened with a massive archery barrage, arrows killing or wounding many men before they could meet hand to hand in the field. Percy’s Cheshire bowmen proved generally superior.

Enough of the King’s men remained on the field, particularly on the left wing, which was under the command of the Prince of Wales (later king Henry V). . Hotspur led a charge aimed at killing the King himself, but was killed, reputedly shot in the face with an arrow when he opened his visor. The battle ended soon after.

Both armies were said to have numbered around 14,000 men. The king lost over 3,000 men, the rebels 2,000 +. . . . #royalfamily #royal #royalty #windsorcastle #HouseofLancaster #lancastrian #royals #EnglishHistory #Britishhistory #KingofEngland #thecrown #crown #britishmonarchy #history #windsor #RoyalHistory #HistoryFacts #henryv #Historic #historyblogger #historyinpictures #otd #OnThisDay #ThisDayInHistory #OnThisDayInHistory #d21jul #Shrewsbury #HenryIV #kinghenryiv #Medievalhistory (at Shrewsbury, Shropshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmKuw7MpUl/?utm_medium=tumblr
