Hotspur, who is in many ways the ideal man by the standards of his time, is killed by his lust for honor.

Hotspur developed as a small settlement on the banks of the Smokey or Crawford River in south western Victoria in the 1840s.
As with many of these early townships it developed near a creek or river crossing which provided a major obstacle for early travellers with their heavy bullock drawn drays and wagons and consequently they camped on the banks and soon one or more inns were constructed to cater for the constant stream of early travellers.
Hotspur, like Digby was on one of the main north - south wagon routes linking Portland Bay to the early pastoral runs of the interior and a settlement was established close to this difficult river crossing point.

 Henry IV, Part I Commentary: Hal, Hotspur, King Henry IV
The temperamental Hotspur, renowned for his bravery but flawed in his excessive commitment to honour, represents the level of society packed with self-righteous hotheads who will throw the country into chaos in the self-centered pursuit of their lofty ideals.
We might conclude that Hotspur would embody ideal honour if he were not so obsessive in his pursuit of it, or if he did not love honour for its own sake and the glory it brings.
Hotspur's immoderate concept of honour is crucial to our understanding of Shakespeare's view of what constitutes ideal honour, for when we analyze the concept of honour embraced by Prince Hal, Shakespeare's ideal honourable man, we will better understand his belief that not needing to be seen as honourable is a necessary facet of true honour.
