Background
Owain Glyndŵr’s Uprising started in September 1400 in Glyndyfrdwy, and he and his army controlled most of Cymru by 1404. His campaign included battles, sieges, treaties, raids and the taking of hostages - which forced the English king, Henry IV, to send armies to search for Glyndŵr. You can find details of many of these events on the Owain Glyndŵr Society’s website - it is suggested that you use the
