Michael Hicks Immortalised by Shakespeare in Henry IV Part I Henry Percy nicknamed Hotspur is among the best known of all his warlike characters. As the young honourable but impatient rebel soldier whose chivalrous exploits on the battlefield end in disaster at Shrewsbury in 1403, Hotspur is the archetypal anti - hero: a character of such tragic and dramatic significance that even his well - known nickname has passed from history into legend. But who was the historical Henry Percy and why did his rise to fame bring him into direct confrontation with his king?
