The battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 is one of the most important
battles in English history. King Henry IV faced his erstwhile ally
Henry Percy Earl of Northumberland in a bloody contest on a field
outside the Shropshire town of Shrewsbury where two English armies,
well-matched, and fighting with similar equipment and tactics,
struggled in an archery duel in which the arrows `fell like leaves
in Autumn', before the battle was ultimately decided in close
quarter hand-to-hand combat. With his victory, Henry IV secured the
Lancastrian hold on the kingdom and demonstrated the right of his
bloodline to the throne. Using full colour artwork and specially
commissioned battlefield maps and illustrations, this is the
fascinating story of the battle without which the reign of Henry V,
his wars and glorious victories against the French, and the later
disastrous reign of Henry VI and subsequent Wars of the Roses could
not have happened.
