One of medieval history's greatest freedom fighters is almost unknown outside Wales—but his story is extraordinary.
In this video, Kevin Hicks explores the remarkable life of Owain Glyndŵr, the last native Prince of Wales. Discover how a loyal nobleman became the leader of a national uprising against Henry IV, how he defeated English armies, inspired thousands to join his cause, and created a bold vision for an independent Wales with its own parliament, universities and church.
From the Welsh Revolt of 1400 to guerrilla warfare, the infamous Penal Laws, the Battle of Bryn Glas and Glyndŵr's mysterious disappearance, this is one of the most fascinating stories of the Middle Ages—and one that deserves to be far better known.
If you enjoy medieval history, Welsh history, castles, battles and the real stories behind famous historical figures, this is the video for you.
