The legend of Glyndwr part 7

Henry IV gradually and patiently reasserts his authority over Wales and Glyndwr and his supporters find themselves losing a war of attrition. Worst of all for Glyndwr, his base at Harlech Castle is captured. His ally Mortimer is killed and Glyndwr's family are captured, never to be heard of again. Glyndwr is now reduced to the status of a homeless outlaw, not surrendering and still able to launch sporadic attacks with less and less impact. Then, in 1414, he disappears - thus underpinning the legend that lasts until this day. Meanwhile Wales pays a heavy price for the revolt. Its people are stripped of influence and its towns are left in ruins. Their fortunes do not revive until the Welsh dynasty the Tudors ascend the throne of England at the end of the 15th century - and even then success for a Welshman would have to mean in essence becoming all things English.
