Henry Percy, 'Hotspur', is one of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] best-known characters. In ''[[Henry IV, Part 1]]'', Percy is portrayed as the same age as his rival, [[Prince Hal]], by whom he is slain in single combat. In fact, he was 23 years older than Prince Hal, the future [[Henry V of England|King Henry V]], who was a youth of 16 at the date of the Battle of Shrewsbury.

One of England's football clubs, [[Tottenham Hotspur]], is named after Hotspur, who lived in the region and whose descendants owned land in the neighbourhood of the club's first ground in the [[Tottenham Marshes]]. He was also well known for having a highly favoured enjoyment of watching [[cockfighting]], hence the club's badge symbol.<ref>"[https://www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/heritage/england/tyne/article_3.shtml Harry Hotspur – Home grown hero of Alnwick]", ''bbc.com'', 18 June 2014.
