And called mine Percy, his Plantagenet! Then would I have his Harry, and he mine. Hotspur is a blunt, rash, practical young man, a fiery and impatient soldier who seems much more suited to the seriousness of ruling a country.

Prince Hal was only fourteen when in 1403, he fought against the rebels and entire family, the home, Hotspur at the battle of Shrewsbury, and Hotspur was then thirty-nine, three years gifts and antiques too. older than Hal’s father.
