The Battle of Shrewsbury, 1403 by Anthony Rich

Event Date: 6 February 2025
Start Time: 7:30 pm
Finish Time: 9:00 pm
Venue Name: Zoom

The Battle of Shrewsbury was waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry “Harry Hotspur” Percy from Northumberland. The battle, the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. It was also the battle at which our favourite medieval hero, the future Henry V, won his spurs despite being wounded in the face by an arrow.
