Welsh history is full of national heroes though few loom as large as Owain Glyndwr. His failed rebellion was the last large-scale attempt by the Welsh people to resist English rule. As the idea of a Welsh national identity was revived in the 19th century, this tenacious warrior was elevated from local folk hero to a semi-mythic father of the nation.
Despite his ultimate failure, Owain Glyndwr remains one of Wales’ most beloved heroes and a symbol of Welsh identity & independence. The story of Owain Glyndwr is an important part of Welsh folk history. Visit Wales today, and you can see first-hand the places he fought and learn how beloved he is.

We Welsh are often overlooked. Even myself when I have travelled abroad, people know England, Scotland, Ireland but many just don't know that Wales exists unless they have been there, have relatives there or know someone from there. I hope one day there is a great series about Owain Glyndwr, HBO style kind of thing. It would be so great.

Welsh movie director Gareth Evans (director of the raid and the raid 2) had been trying to make a movie about Owain Glyndwr but unfortunately he has been unable to get funding. Studios think it wouldn't be popular enough as historical epics cost to much. A shame really as I think it could have been a hit like brave heart if done correctly.

It was not a rebellion. It was a war for independence.

My grandfather was born and raised in Wales and moved over to the US around age 18. I have a very welsh name and am proud of my welsh heritage

Last King of Wales who restored Welsh autonomy after the 1284 - 1409 Anglo-Norman Occupation of Wales. And it was an Occupation as if it wasn't, it would already have belonged to England and annexation wouldn't have been necessary. Wales doesn't share English laws because of a Conquest. This is lie retold and retold for centuries. As the Welsh say - Yma O Hyd!

@dr.sleaseball441

I'm not welsh, i just like stories of rebels going against great powers and becoming a real danger for them.

Nice to see some Americans appreciate their Welsh heritage, instead of just trying to find Scottish and Irish heritage because of a few Hollywood films😂

As a Welshman, I appreciate your video for being informative and makes me proud that my little corner of the UK is recognised in the US as a country of its own without being considered part of England!

Growing up in 70s & 80s Wales, (in the Vale of Glamorgan, just west of Cardiff), I learnt very little about Owain Glyndwr in school history lessons, (not much more than a passing reference to his failed rebellion), as more generally Anglocentric history was the order of the day. (The suppression of the Welsh, by the English carried on for centuries).

Until now most of my knowledge of Glyndwr was from Shakespeare. This has been a very good (if far too short) presentation.

I have been exploring all my heritage which is mostly Scots Irish and English but have about 10% Welsh heritage. I did not know until recently that Wales is a Celtic culture! The music is on par with Irish music and awesome!
