Background
Nobody is certain about when or where Owain Glyndŵr died - in fact, some
people still believe that he is asleep in a cave waiting to lead the country again.
Many of the stories surrounding his death suggest that he spent his last days
travelling between the homes of his daughters across the border in Herefordshire,
but his final burial place could well be somewhere else. You can find out more about Owain’s story on the Owain Glyndŵr Society’s website: owain-glyndwr.wales
