Scene Index with Summaries:
- ACT 1, SCENE 1
- (1.1.1) Enter the KING [HENRY], LORD JOHN OF LANCASTER, EARL of WESTMORELAND, [SIR WALTER BLUNT,] with others.
King Henry receives the bad news that in the ongoing civil war, Mortimer has been captured by the wild Welchman Glendower, and the good news that Hotspur has defeated his Scots foes and captured the Earl of Fife. King Henry praises Harry Hotspur and wishes that he was his son, rather than his own Harry, who is stained by "riot and dishonour." However, the King is disturbed that Hotspur refuses to hand over all of his prisoners. An advisor, Westmoreland, tells the King that Hotspur's uncle Worcester is the one responsible for that bit of mischief. The King replies that his next business is to confront Hotspur about the prisoners.
