Shakespeare's Opening Lines: The Quiz

Question #11: CORRECT!

WARWICK. I wonder how the king escaped our hands.
YORK. While we pursued the horsemen of the north,
He slily stole away and left his men:
Whereat the great Lord of Northumberland,
Whose warlike ears could never brook retreat,
Cheer'd up the drooping army; and himself,
Lord Clifford and Lord Stafford, all abreast,
Charged our main battle's front, and breaking in
Were by the swords of common soldiers slain.
3 Henry VI (1.1)
