Henry IV wants to take an army to Jerusalem on a Crusade, but problems in England keep him there. Some of his nobles refuse to hand over prisoners, which would give Henry the ransom money.

Hotspur’s brother-in-law has been captured, and Henry will not pay the ransom. Events lead to the battlefield of Shrewsbury.
