Wargaming the Rebellion of Owain Glyndwr

The Revolt of Owain Glyndŵr stands as one of the most significant chapters in Welsh history, embodying the spirit of resistance and the quest for national identity. Spanning the early 15th century, this uprising led by Owain Glyndŵr challenged English authority, united disparate Welsh factions, and ignited hopes of independence. Glyndŵr's revolt reshaped the political landscape of Wales and left an indelible mark on its collective memory.

Let me tell you, as an American I definitely wouldn’t have pronounced ‘Owain Glyndwr’ correctly before seeing this video.
I love these kind of historical context videos; it’s great information to learn, and they help add a lot of depth to games.

@@Dan-ds8sf These videos just sort of scratch the surface but they are designed to give you some ideas of which elements of history to take a deeper look at.

Lol plz don’t use this vid as a reference for pronouncing Owain Glyndwr.
No hate but the pronunciation is terrible.

@@Inquisitor_Vex I don't speak Welsh so I'm not surprised I got it wrong.

@@irregularmagazine you gave it a good crack. Can’t fault you for that! 🍻
It’s the “dwr” really, it’s a lower case ‘w’ so is more like “d + oo + r” or like a person who does things, a “doer”.
Bit of added etymology, “Glyn” = “valley” or “Glen” and “Dwr” = “water” so he’s Owain of the “Waterglen”.
Cheers, Bach 🍻
