About Owain Glyndwr

If it had not been for Owain Glyndwr's 15-year struggle against overwhelming odds, the Welsh would not have survived as Europe's oldest nation. His war is the defining era in the history of Wales.

His Legacy

Yet Glyndwr is hardly known — a cultured, literate warrior who was never betrayed or captured and vanished into history. No less than six separate invasions were beaten back by Glyndwr's army of volunteers before he disappeared, his family and children either dead or imprisoned for life.

Not for Glyndwr the brutal public death of Braveheart, nor a grave to desecrate — only an immortal legacy of hope and freedom.

Historical Impact

His war of independence led the way for the success of another mab darogan (son of prophecy) seven decades later, when a Welsh army won at Bosworth Field and the Tudor dynasty was founded.

About the Book
