Shrewsbury
Shropshire, England
Birth: ABT 1355 in Eatington, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England
Death: 22 JUL 1403 in Battle of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England 1
Note:
Sir Hugh Shirley, inherited Basset estates; Grand Falconer to Henry IV 1400; killed 1403 at Battle of Shrewsbury, being one of four who were dressed as the King and mistaken for him by the enemy. [Burke's Peerage]
The encounter is immortalised by Shakespeare in his play "Henry IV".
However, in the play Shakespeare uses dramatic licence and he has Sir Hugh killed instead by Douglas.
Quote: King Henry:
"Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like
never to hold it up again ! The spirits
of valiant Shirley, Stafford and Blunt are in my arms."
1400-1403 Master of King's Hawks.
