Hotspur fought at Otterburn and was captured in 1388. He also fought at Shrewsbury and died.

Otterburn and Chevy chase are the same. The second name is the speed with which the English withdrew. Ironically The Douglas was killed by his own armour bearer. But his death hidden so Scots rallied to the Dead Douglas banner winning the day with Hotspur as a prize.
