Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four opening years of the fifteenth century were among the most stirring in the history of England. Owen Glendower carried fire and slaughter among the Welsh marches, captured most of the strong places held by the English, and foiled three invasions, led by the king himself. The northern borders were invaded by Douglas; who, after devastating a large portion of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham, was defeated and taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon, by the Earl of Northumberland, and his son Hotspur. Then followed the strange and unnatural coalition between the Percys, Douglas of Scotland, Glendower of Wales, and Sir Edmund Mortimer--a coalition that would assuredly have overthrown the king, erected the young Earl of March as a puppet monarch under the tutelage of the Percys, and secured the independence of Wales, had the royal forces arrived one day later at Shrewsbury, and so allowed the confederate armies to unite.King Henry's victory there, entailing the death of Hotspur and the capture of Douglas, put an end to this formidable insurrection; for, although the Earl of Northumberland twice subsequently raised the banner of revolt, these risings were easily crushed; while Glendower's power waned, and order, never again to be broken, was at length restored in Wales. The continual state of unrest and chronic warfare, between the inhabitants of both sides of the border, was full of adventures as stirring and romantic as that in which the hero of the story took part.

Excerpt: ... and many depredations in England would bring them to the gallows if taken alive. "Well, father, we shall be able to live in peace for a time now. No doubt the Bairds have brought with them every spear they could muster, for none would willingly have stayed at home when there was a promise of gathering so much booty; therefore their strength must be altogether broken, and it will be long indeed before the Bairds ride in a raid into Northumberland." His father nodded. "'T is a good thing, Oswald, assuredly, though I would rather that we had had the attacking of them in their own hold. Still, at any rate there is an end of the feud for years to come, and I shall be able to lie down to sleep without wondering whether they will be knocking at the gate before morning." URING the time that had elapsed between his receiving U the news of Mortimer's capture by Glendower and the battle of Homildon Hill, Percy had written several times to the king with reference to his taking the same steps to ransom Mortimer that he had taken on behalf of Lord Grey. The king, however, answered very coldly, and one of his letters more than hinted that he believed that Mortimer had voluntarily placed himself in Glendower's hands, and that an agreement existed between them. Not only was Hotspur furious at such an accusation, but the earl himself was deeply angered. "Tis past all belief," Hotspur said, "that such a charge CHAFfER XX THE PERCYS' DISCONTENT should be made. Had Mortimer wished to join Glendower he could have gone to him, not as a prisoner, but at the head of three thousand good fighting men. Why should he have thrown away the lives of twelve hundred of his own vassals and those of his nephew? Nay, more, had Mortimer intended treachery, he might have...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Both Sides the Border: A Tale of Hotspur and Glendower The four opening years of the fifteenth century were among the most stirring in the history of England. Owen Glen dower carried fire and slaughter among the Welsh marches, captured most of the strong places held by the English, and foiled three invasions led by the king himself. The northern borders were invaded by Douglas, who, after devastating a large portion of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham, was defeated and taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon by the Earl of Northumberland and his son Hotspur. Then followed the strange and unnatural coalition between the Percys, Douglas of Scotland, Glendower of Tales, and Sir Edmund Mortimer - a coalition that would assuredly have overthrown the king, erected the young Earl of March as a puppet monarch under the tutelage of the Percys, and secured the independence of Tales, had the royal forces arrived one day later at Shrewsbury, and so allowed the confederate armies to unite. King Henry's victory there, entailing the death of Hotspur and the capture of Douglas, put an end to this formidable insurrection; for although the Earl of Northumberland twice subsequently raised the banner of revolt, these risings were easily crushed; while Glendower's power waned, and order, never again to be broken, was at length restored in Wales.
