Hmmmmn.

But I’m shocked and ‘otprized no one has yet claimed C S Forester’s excellent 1962 epic novel “Hornblower and the Hotspur” - tracing the (not-quite-historic) British naval hero’s battles off the French coast.

Cool-you found another place hotspur was used-I’m not all that partial to HH’s exploits, but they do make good, rousing storytelling.
