• Notes

  He first bore arms at the recapture of Berwick by his father, December 1378. [8] When travelling in Prussia in 1383 he hurried back to Flanders to take part in the expected fighting there in the Bishop of Norwich's "crusade," and in that year began his official work on the Border, as a commissioner to receive money due from the King of Scotland. [9] In 1385 he attended Richard II on his expedition into Scotland. [10] In May 1386 ("as Henry Percy the younger, whom the Scots call Haatspore") he was sent with a large force to Calais. [11] In August 1387 he was in command of a squadron at sea against the French. [12]
