Other Englishmen in Prussia 207 



English.^ Boucicaut (1366-1421), who had been one of the 

 challengers at the jousts of St. Inglevert^ in the spring of 1390, 

 was present at Konigsberg (the third time he had been in 

 Prussia), and growing indignant at what he considered treason 

 on the part of the English toward Douglas, offered to prove it 

 on their heads; but they refused to entertain a challenge from 

 any but the Scotchmen,^ 



Sir John Montagu, afterwards third Earl of Salisbury (1350?- 

 1400), having done homage for his father's estate, obtained the 

 king's licence to journey into Prussia with a retinue of ten 

 servants,* but nothing further is known of the project.^ 



1392. Sir Henry Percy (1364- 1403), better known as Hot- 

 spur, who had been in the train of Derby at the jousts of 

 St. Inglevert,*^ and was to stand by Henry as events moved 

 toward his assumption of the crown,^ must have been in Prussia 

 by June of this year, at latest.^ A contention arose between 

 him and Rupert of Schokendorf as to which should carry the 

 banner of St. George,^ but Vitovt and his wife smoothed mat-

^ Between Calais and Boulogne. Henry was present, and on April 20 

 took part in the jousting (Le Roulx, p. 176). Cf. D. A., pp. 296, 300; 

 Kervyn 14. 44-45, 105-151, 416-7, 420; Diet. Nat. Biog. 26. 32; Wylie 



4. 279, and the authorities there cited. King Richard seems also to 

 have been present, and to have been eclipsed by Henry (Gower 2. xxv; 

 Wylie I. 5 ; Chroniqtie de la Traison et Mort de Richard II (London, 

 1846), p. xHv.

" Beltz' suggestion that he probably was associated with Henry in 

 his expedition against the Lithuanians is of course absurd. He eventually 

 became an enemy of Henry, rebelled against him, and was beheaded by 

 a mob; cf. Shakespeare, Richard II 2. 4; 3. 3; 5. 6.
