The Earl of Northumberland, Thomas Percy, escapes to Scotland and is taken into custody.[2] Despite his protestations of virtue, he is passed from hand to hand, ending in the custody of Douglas. Earl Percy sets sail, with the mindset that he will be freed, but instead ends up under the control of Lord Hunsden.[3]
