      It was taught to me at my Welsh language school in Wales. Glyndwr is pronounced with a rolled R at the end, as in ooh rrrr, so please work on your pronunciation.

      Absolutely. Schools should teach children how to throw out the boat people evil invaders with their rape and murder and theft. Unfortunately the evil leftists have control of schools, so we will all die as a result.

    An excellent introduction to Owain Glyndŵr`s rebellion. I like the content, however, these Anglo-Saxon/Viking-age-looking warriors were entirely out of place and I think the video would be better without it, or with the combatants relevant to the times of Owain.

    Meibion Glyndwr- The sons of Glynwr. I still see the symbol about the place on my travels, as I also see his flag still flying strong in certain parts. May I say your pronunciation started off rather impressively, however as the video went on it waned a bit. A great video though thank you for making it:)

    Along with the fall of Harlech was the death of Owain’s son-in-law, Edmund Mortimer, father of Owain’s young granddaughters who would die as prisoner’s in the Tower, very likely along with Catrin his daughter. Mortimer’s claim to the English throne had been the chief reason behind Henry’s decision not to ransom his marcher lord and the cruelty of exacting revenge on Owain with the murder of female members is in keeping of Henry’s murder of his cousin Richard II. Owain’s wife, Margaret, I believe survived the Tower, but was not reunited with Owain.
    As for young Henry of Monmouth, his later barbarity in France, which he freely admitted to, despoiling and putting fire to everything in his wake after Agincourt, he jested was akin to the sausage needing mustard - Monmouth honed these skills during the Welsh wars against Owain, which your podcast amply discusses!
    The Lancastrian reigns, which continued under the Lancastrian kings Henry VII and Henry VIII did nothing for the Welsh, and finally even saw the Welsh language made irrelevant legally with Henry VIII’s act of unification - the Anglo-Welsh approved as it gave them legal cover in England but it essentially eradicated the use of Welsh as a language until it was resuscitated in the 1960’s!!!

      @@welshman8954 so true, it galls me that 'historians' and writers, scholars all perpetuate Henry 7 and his (short lived) 'dynasty's straw dog claim to being the champion of the Welsh and bearing their enduring love! Flipping through those who were rewarded by Henry after Bosworth (August 1485 through the early months of 1486) one sees all his fellow Lancastrians, many of whom tolerated Edward IV, others who did not, some who had been part of Edward's circle in hopes that he would eventually remove attainders on fathers and grandfathers - he did not) BUT what you will not see are scores of Welsh names, in any capacity. I found Rhys ap Griffith, expected. But hardly the overwhelming support the Welsh poet Gutor Glyn rhapsodized about! Compare that to Richard 3, rewarding and granting his supporters in 1483, appointing offices and filling needed stewardships etc, the Welsh names abound - this I think was a result that Richard, when he was the duke of Gloucester had spent enough time in South Wales (1468-9 in particular) and thereafter, had properties in the area, was guardian of William Herbert younger in his (brief, I think) minority and seems to have remained close to him and South Wales thereafter. I suspect too that the mother of his (illegitimate) daughter, Kateryn, probably had a Welsh mother, very likely dating from this period and just as likely remaining in Wales when he was sent all over the midlands by Edward 4 (1469-70) (Gloucester's actual itinerary is famously sketchy).
      As King Richard he kept Herbert (demoted from 2nd Earl of Pembroke by Edward 4 to Earl of Huntingdon in order to give the title to his son, the Prince of Wales) with him on the Royal Progress to York it is thought Herbert was the new Prince of Wales' chamberlain or secretary - by early 1484 Herbert, a widower, would marry this same Kateryn, receiving a notable dowry that essentially doubled his (admittedly paltry income). Most historians consider the younger Herbert deficient and neglected by Edward 4, or that he was in some way sickly, unable to fill the role his truly remarkable father had held. Whatever the case, R3, and this is just my guess, who certainly knew the younger Herbert better than his elder brother, may have been in the process of resurrecting Herbert's career and fortunes, with the Royal Progress and then marriage into his family (Herbert's first marriage was to one of Queen Elizabeth's younger sister's, it produced a single child, daughter Mary). Had Herbert and Kateryn produced a son there is no reason to think R3 would not have restored Herbert to the title of Earl of Pembroke - (his own son and heir had died late in April 1484).
      Herbert, sadly, did not long outlive either of his wives; it is thought Kateryn died in later 1485 or early 1486 as she was buried in London - one of the least known details of Henry's French invasion in August of 1485 was his Norman mercenaries (many released from jails for this very purpose) brought the Sweat with them, spreading it as they went, it was particularly devastating in London. Numerous aldermen, former mayors etc died that fall from the Sweat and I wouldn't be surprised if Kateryn was another victim as well.

    Great piece. Important to emphasise that the ransom for Reginal Grey 6000 Marks = £4000 IN 1400. I believe this would equate to several million pounds now, a debt which Grey never recovered from. Other ransoms set by Owain Glyndwr were just £50 for Edmund Walsingham and £20 for John Horn (London Fishmonger caught at Harlech). A reflection on how much 'of a catch' Grey was, if you excuse the pun!!
