Both Sides the Border

When Oswald Forster is taken into Henry Percy’s household as a squire, his efficiency and discretion as a message-bearer, as well as his newly-gained ability to read and write, gain him Hotspur’s confidence, and he becomes a go-between for several very sensitive communications between the Percys and their allies. He takes part in a raid against Glendower, rescues his girl cousins, Jessie and Janet, from captivity by the Bairds, is knighted by King Henry for his loyal service, is captured by Glendower — with surprising consequences — and finally, participates in the fateful battle at Shrewsbury in which Hotspur takes his forces against the king’s army.
