Notes:
                   "Henry IV spent much of the early part of his reign fighting to keepcontrol of his lands. Exiled for life by Richard II in 1399, Henry'ssuccessful usurpation did not lead to general recognition of his claim(he remained unrecognised as King by Charles VI of France).

An outbreak of the plague in 1400 was accompanied by a revolt in Walesled by Owen Glendower. In 1403, Henry's supporters, the Percys ofNorthumberland, turned against him and conspired with Glendower - thePercys and the Welsh were defeated by Henry at the Battle of Shrewsbury.This victory was followed by the execution of other rebels at York(including the Archbishop in 1405).

By 1408 Henry had gained control of the country. Henry was dogged byillness from 1405 onwards; his son played a greater role in government(even opposing the King at times). In 1413, Henry died exhausted, in theJerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey."
