Owain Glyndwr was born in 1354. He was a Welsh Nationalist leader. He led a rebellion against Henry IV of England, taking the title ‘Prince of Wales’ in 1400, and successfully led the Welsh defence against English invasions of 1400-02, although Wales was re-conquered in 1405-13.
He allied himself with English rebels, including the Percies, and also the French, but his allies were defeated. He went into hiding and disappeared from history.
