Lord De la Warr proves harsher and more warlike toward the Powhatans and their associated tribes than any of his predecessors.
He first sends Gates to drive off the Kecoughtan from their village on July 9, then gives Chief Powhatan the ultimatum of either returning all English subjects and property, or facing war.
Powhatan insists that the English either stay in their fort or leave Virginia.
Enraged, De la Warr had the hand of a Paspahegh captive cut off and sent him to the paramount chief with another ultimatum: Return all English subjects and property, or the neighboring villages will be burned.
Powhatan does not respond.
