NBP0068PC. Then Leaving Life, Earl Percy Took the Dead Man by the Hand by Archibald Webb

The Battle of Otterburn took place in August 1388, a border skirmish during the Anglo-Scottish Wars. Despite estimates claiming the English had a three to one advantage over the Scots, the battle went poorly for them. The Scots took a decisive victory, with exhaustion from the long march up to the border being cited primarily as the reason for the English defeat. Taken from the original book plate, published 1920.
