The Percys favored Mortimer, and so united with the Welsh and Scots. A large fight occurred at Shrewsbury in 1403. The rebels were defeated and Percy slain. Northumberland was pardoned, and tried it again, assisted by the Archbishop of York, two years later. The archbishop was executed in 1405. Northumberland made another effort, but was defeated and slain.
So kind, so affable, so so" Mr. Leland shook his head. "The mere gloss of polite society," he returned. "There is no soundness in her heart. We know that, for the tree is judged by its fruit." "We have seen no evil fruit," said the wife. "Others have, and we know that others have. Her conduct in the case of the Percys is notorious." "Common report is always exaggerated."
