	Owen Glendower - LoveToKnow 1911
		In the autumn the English king was for the third time driven " bootless home and weatherbeaten back." The few English strongholds left in Wales were now hard pressed, and Owen boasted that he would meet his enemy in the field.
		Nevertheless, in May 1403 Henry of Monmouth was allowed to sack Sycharth and Glyndyvrdwy unopposed.
		The Percies were to rise in arms, and meeting Owen at Shrewsbury, overwhelm the prince before help could arrive.

	Owain Glyndŵr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glyndŵr's opportunities were further limited by the death of Sir Gregory Sais three years later, and faced with these disappointments he returned to his estates in North Wales, living there quietly for ten years.
		In response, Henry of Monmouth (the son of Henry IV and the future King Henry V) attacked and burned Owain's homes at Glyndyfrdwy and Sycharth.
		Tradition has that he either died and was buried at his estate in Sycharth or on the estates of his daughters' husbands — Kentchurch in Herefordshire or Monnington.
