Bramham Moor, battle of, 1408. Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland, who had been lucky to escape disaster in 1403 when the revolt of his son Hotspur was crushed at Shrewsbury, raised rebellion against Henry IV again in 1408. He marched south to Thirsk but, in the middle of a bitter winter, found little support.
