Henry of See also:Lancaster, afterwards Henry IV., whom he joined on his landing in See also:Yorkshire in 1399
.
He already held the castles of Brancepeth, Raby, Middleham and See also:Sheriff See also:Hutton when he received from Henry IV, the See also:honour and lordship of See also:Richmond for See also:life
.
The only rivals of the Nevilles in the See also:north were the Percies, whose See also:power was broken at See also:Shrewsbury in 1403
.
Both See also:marches had been in their hands, but the warden-See also:ship of the west marches was now assigned to Westmorland, whose See also:influence was also See also:paramount in the See also:east, which was under the nominal wardenship of the See also:young See also:Prince John, after-wards duke of See also:Bedford
.
Westmorland had prevented North. umberland from marching to reinforce Hotspur in 1403, and before embarking on a new revolt he sought to secure his enemy, surrounding, but too See also:late, one of See also:Sir Ralph See also:Eure's castles where the earl had been staying
.
In May the Percies were in revolt, with Thomas See also:Mowbray, earl See also:marshal, and See also:Archbishop See also:Scrope
.
Westmorland met them on See also:Shipton See also:Moor, near See also:York, on the 29th of May 1405, and suggested a parley between the leaders
.
By pretending See also:accord with the archbishop, the earl induced him to allow his followers to disperse
.
Scrope and Mowbray were then seized and handed over to Henry at See also:Pontefract on the 3rd of See also:January
.
The improbabilities of this narrative have led some writers to think, in See also:face of contemporary authorities, that Scrope and Mowbray must have surrendered voluntarily
.
If Westmorland betrayed them he at least had no See also:share in their See also:execution
.
Thenceforward he was busily engaged in negotiating with the Scots and keeping the See also:peace on the See also:borders
.
He did not See also:play the See also:part assigned to him by See also:Shakespeare in Henry V., for during Henry's See also:absence he remained in See also:charge of the north, and was a member of Bedford's See also:council
.
He consolidated the strength of his family by See also:marriage alliances
.
