		Born to a dynasty of prosperous Anglo-Welsh land-owners in North-East Wales, the young Owain ap Gruffydd Fychan studied law in London.

		Owain then extended the sphere of his military activity to the east and south-east of Wales, where he inflicted a severe defeat upon the English at Pilleth, and by the end of the summer had extended the revolt to Glamorgan and Gwent.
		Owain was able to summon a parliament of his own, in an attempt to demonstrate the legitimacy of his title and also to consolidate his position within native Wales.
		Owain kept Rhys with him until he had gathered his power around him and then went with Rhys to Aberystwyth, where he threatened to cut off Rhy's head, unless he might have the castle; whereupon the castle was given to Owain.

	Britannia: Owain Glyndwr's Descendants
		Owain Glyndwr had the prescience of centuries and brought to medieval Wales the beginnings of a nation state and a 20th century-styled democracy and economy.
		Glyndwr’s torrent of success was quashed by English warfare, however, and history surrounding his fate was cloaked and eschewed by centuries of purposeful and well-intentioned myth.
		However, Maredudd Glyndwr, one of Owain’s sons and chosen successors, survived on his own reputation throughout this turbulent period of history, and even thrived after the Welsh rebellion of the early 1400’s.

		It was true that Owain received a great deal of his support from the peasantry, and the comet that appeared in 1402 was seen by the Welsh as a sign of their forthcoming deliverance from bondage as well as one that proclaimed the appearance of Owain.
		Glyndwr must have possessed a magnetic personality, for he rallied the long-suffering people of Wales, strengthening their armies and inspired their confidence.
		[Glyndwr] almost destroyed the King and his armies, by magic as it was thought, for from the time they entered Wales to the time they left, never did a gentle air breathe on them, but throughout whole days and nights, rain mixed with snow and hail afflicted them with cold beyond endurance.

		Glyndwr possessed a magnetic personality, for he rallied the long-suffering people of Wales, strengthened their armies, and inspired their confidence.

	Wales At Heart - Dedicated to Wales
		Born around 1350, Owain Glyndwr was a member of the Welsh aristocracy and seems to have had a fairly conventional upbringing.
		As a result, Owain got nowhere with his claims, and must have become increasingly disaffected with things until ultimately he rallied others of similar mind and in 1400 raised his standard and was proclaimed Prince of Wales by his followers.
		It was a key battle, and Owain defeated the opposition with a force said to be no more than 120 men, but who were far better suited to the bleak moorland conditions.

	Owain Glyndwr

		Glyndwr, however, had neither expected nor wanted a lengthy campaign and was eventually forced to withdraw: Henry had no reason to risk defeat by attacking Glyndwr's army and Glyndwr assessed the risk too great in attacking the English up a heavily-defended hillside.
		Owain, with his son Meredudd, and a handful of his best captains, together with Scots and French allies, were at large throughout 1409, devastating wherever they went.
