Guilt about the removal of Richard troubles King Henry IV’s conscience. He’d like to go to the Holy Land but there are problems at home.

Henry faces growing opposition from some of those nobles who helped him to the throne—especially the Percy family. Wales and Scotland are threatening rebellion and Richard’s nominated heir, Edmund Mortimer, looms on the horizon. King Henry’s treatment of Henry ‘Hotspur’ Percy only makes matters worse.

Henry’s own son. Prince Hal, is living a dissolute life, frequenting the taverns of Eastcheap in the company of Sir John Falstaff and other disreputable characters.

Opposition to the King becomes open rebellion, led by Hotspur – who now supports Edmund Mortimer’s claim to the throne. This rebellion brings Prince Hal back to his father’s side. The King’s army meet the rebels at the battle of Shrewsbury, where Hal vows to seek out and defeat Hotspur.
