Family relationships are at the center of Henry IV  Part 1. King Henry IV and Prince Hal form one major father-son pair  with Henry in despair because Hal lives a dissolute life. The father-son pair of Hotspur (Lord Henry Percy) and his father  the Earl of Northumberland  is in seeming contrast; the king envies Northumberland \"his Harry \" wishing he could claim the gallant Hotspur as his own. Meanwhile  Hal has entered into a quasi-father-son relationship with a disreputable but amusing knight  Sir John Falstaff.   Another strand of action centers on still more family relationships. Hotspur's stand against Henry focuses on Hotspur's brother-in-law  Mortimer. Mortimer  who fought against the Welsh magician Owen Glendower  was defeated and captured and has married Glendower's daughter. King Henry pronounces Mortimer a traitor whom he will not ransom. Hotspur  in declaring war on Henry  sees himself as fighting for Mortimer  his wife's brother.
