But the whole thing is designed as a trick on the unsuspecting Falstaff. Worcester suggests that The Percies should in fact join forces with the Scottish and the Welsh, and together with powerful English nobles who are also dissatisfied with King Henry, raise an army to claim the throne.Д«lissfully ignorant to the growing unrest threatening his family, Prince Hal takes part in a double robbery at GadвЂ™s Hill along with fellow tavern-dwellers Falstaff, Peto, Poins and Bardolph. HotspurвЂ™s uncle, The Earl of Worcester, takes advantage of HotspurвЂ™s anger to propose an insurrection. Hotspur is furious that Henry seems to have forgotten the once strong allegiance between the Percy family and the Throne, and the key role they played in overthrowing Richard II. King Henry, however, still demands that Hotspur release the Scottish prisoners to him so he can claim the ransom for them.

When King Henry confronts Hotspur and Northumberland about the Scottish prisoners, Hotspur becomes enraged at the suggestion that his brother-in-law, Mortimer, is in-fact a traitor and therefore there will be no ransom paid to free him from Glendower.

Chief among them is the lazy, drunk, cunning professional criminal Sir John Falstaff. Meanwhile Prince Hal, the heir to the English throne, spends his days drinking and carousing among some of LondonвЂ™s most unsavoury characters, to the extreme disappointment of his father. These are very valuable prisoners on account of the ransom they could attract. However, King Henry is simultaneously furious with HotspurвЂ™s refusal to hand over the Scottish prisoners taken during the battle. The bravery and skill of Hotspur puts the King in mind of the apparent failures of his own son, Prince Henry (or вЂHalвЂ™ as he is known) and he admits he is envious of HotspurвЂ™s father, Lord Northumberland. While to the north, English forces led by Henry (Hotspur) Percy have won a gallant victory. On the Welsh border King HenryвЂ™s forces have been defeated, and the loyal Mortimer is imprisoned and held for ransom by the Welsh Rebel, Owen Glendower. Henry announces, however, that this will have to be postponed because England is under attack from forces closer to home. Weary from years of civil unrest and seeking atonement and legitimacy after the deposition of his cousin Richard II, he plans to lead an expedition to Jerusalem to join a crusade to claim the Holy Land in the name of Christianity. King Henry IV of England is aging and guilt-ridden.
