Henry IV faced many difficulties during his reign. The Welsh revolted under Owen Glendower; the Scots invaded England, and were defeated at the battle of Homildon Hill; the powerful house of Percy led an insurrection, which was crushed at the battle of Shrewsbury. Henry also was the target of numerous plots against his life, and parliament continued to assert their rights. All of these political troubles created great difficulties for the economy and the finances of his administration. Henry became a very unpopular king. The stress gradually wore down his health and his mental state. Henry finally died in the year 1413, and was succeeded by his son Henry V.
