| Notes |
- Sir Hugh Shirley, inherited Basset estates; Grand Falconer to Henry IV 1400; killed 1403 at Battle of Shrewsbury, being one of those who were dressed as the King and mistaken for him by the enemy. [Burke's Peerage]
----------------------------------------------------------
1400-1403 Master of King's Hawks.
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 immortalized by Shakespeare in his play "Henry IV."
However, in the play Shakespeare uses dramatic license 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."
