The History Extra website recently had an article about the part played by Owain Glyndŵr in the Welsh uprising at the beginning of the 15th century, It suggests that he was less the originator of it, but rather that he was an important and significant local leader who was caught up in it and who then became its leader. The article also makes some interesting observations about his disappearance as the rebellion collapsed.
The article can be accessed at It’s one of the most famous revolts in medieval history – but has the Glyndŵr rebellion been misnamed?
Wikipedia has a detailed account of Glyndŵr’s life and campaigns at Owain Glyndŵr
