(Bl18) Sir Walter Blount
Born: 1350, Elwaston, Derbyshire, England
Died: 21 Jul 1403, at the Battle of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.
The Battle of Shrewsbury, fought on July 21st, 1403 between an army
led by the Lancastrian King, Henry IV and a rebel army led by members of
the Percy family from Northumberland, is principally remembered today by
many as the climax of Shakespeare's play, Henry IV part 1. The Percy forces,
mostly raised from their estates in Cheshire, were believed to be aiming
to join forces with a Welsh rebel force led by Owain Glyn Dwr. Shrewsbury
was a principal town on the route taken by the Percy forces and was the
major crossing point over the river Severn as well as a potential supply
base. The royal army had to take and defend the site urgently before the
Percies and Glyn Dwr could join up.
Our knowledge of the battle, the battlefield and the armies is less
than complete and even contemporary estimates of the numbers involved or
of those slain are very much open to debate. Slaughter and the Longbow
For some hours on the morning of the 21st, the two armies faced each
other out of arrowshot whilst negotiations took place to try to resolve
the position. Eventually, the King seems to have decided that no solution
would be reached since the Percies were either too determined in their
stance or because they were seeking to bring in surprise reinforcements.
The order to advance was given.
Both vanguards found themselves subject to such a bombardment of arrows
that many were killed within minutes. Once the hand to hand fighting had
begun, the royal forces proved superior and a rash charge from the Percy
force led them into disarray and destruction. When the cry went up that
Harry Percy (Hotspur) had fallen, resistance crumbled and the slaughter
began. Chroniclers of the day recorded that such a slaughter had never
been seen or read about in Christian times. Thousands fell.
Both sides suffered tremendous casualties, many as the result of the
dramatic impact of the use of the English longbow, whose archers were reputed
to be able to fire 12 arrows a minute into the enemy ranks - as there were
several thousand archers in each force, the prospect is awe inspiring.
After the Battle
Over 300 knights of the realm perished or died of their wounds, up
to 20,000 men fell on the field and many thousands succumbed to their injuries
over the ensuing weeks. Many of the bodies were gathered for decent burial
by relatives or kinsmen but it is reputed that some 1500 bodies were buried
in a great charnel somewhere on the site of the battle. Hotspur was initially
buried at Whitchurch, Shropshire, but the King ordered him disinterred
and displayed to prove he was truly dead. His body was set up in Shrewsbury
impaled on a spear between two millstones and was later quartered and put
on show in the four corners of the country. In November they were returned
to his widow who had them buried in the Percy chapel of Beverly Minster.
Buried: Jul 1403, St. Mary's, Newark, Leicester, England
Father: Sir John Blount (Bl19)
Mother: Eleanor de Beauchamp
(Be19) /? Isolda MOUNTJOY.
If Isolda Mountjoy were the mother - and presuming the above data on
his father and siblings is correct - he would have been 65 to 80 years
old at the Battle of Shrewsbury and certainly easily cut down by the Douglas
(if we may believe Shakespeare) but it would explain why a grandson became
Baron Mountjoy.
If Eleanor de Beauchamp were the mother he would have been about 49
at the the Battle and still of good fighting age.
