Owain Glyndŵr & the Welsh Revolt // Medieval Wales History Documentary

- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2023
- In Wales, there is a legend of a messianic figure, destined to lead its people to freedom from subjugation. Stemming from the legends of King Arthur, the term ‘Y Mab Darogan’ (Son of Destiny) has been given to a number of historical Welsh figures over the centuries. Llewelyn the Great, Llewelyn the Last and Owain Lawgoch all held the title for a time. All ultimately fell short of the prophesy.
The next man in line was proclaimed ‘Prince of Wales’ on the sixteenth of September the year 1400. An act which signalled the rejection of English rule, and the beginning of a fifteen-year-long battle for independence.
This is the story of Owain Glyndwr and the Welsh Revolt.

Owain glyndwr will Never be forgotten.
This should be taught in schools all over the UK,
All British History should be taught.
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.
i went to a welsh school in the capital of wales and learnt NONE of this. it’s truly appalling and it once again shows that we have an english influence trying to erase our history #yescymru
not just the UK, everywhere
So sad that we have to have an English person to be our Prince of Wales. But like dafydd iwan song, brilliant song da ni yma o hud.. We Welsh are still here in translation. Keep our language alive . Hefyd cofiwch tryweryn. Thank you dafydd iwan am I gan yma o hyd.
Owain Glyndwr's sister Lowri was my 17th great grandmother. Thank you for this great video on Owain.
Top respect to you
Out of curiosity how did you fin d that out? As I'd like to trace my ancestry
One of the things that makes me so proud to be Welsh is the fact that for a country with such a tiny population, we really do punch above our weight and then (with the exception of Zulu),we don't brag or boast, we simply carry on with our business
I have to say, I’ve just discovered this man is my 20th great grandfather. And your Chanel and video is the first education I have had of him. That’s a privilege my friend. Good job .
In the words of Cerys mathews....
Every day when i wake up, i thank The Lord Im Welsh.
Hey bro keep making vids man it's good content and theres a market for Wales history which is lacking already on RUclips
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!!!
Since when has England done anything for us welsh they just take they never give
@@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.
Owain was a good lad
Dioch! nicely done - more please! 🏴🇬🇧
A great video. I'll look out for more of your videos. 🏴
Absolutely brilliant... Diolch.💓

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.
That was produced and delivered in a way that meant all key detail was present and maintained interest and intrigue as a viewer, throughout. Superb account of an important time in Welsh history. Thanks to Historialis 👍
They were still torching english owned gaffs not that long a go, if memory serves !
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:)
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!!
Wales really love the letter "W"

Found this channel on my home page. Hopefully more people find it, you do good work
I'm so glad that I stumbled on this channel!!!!
Keep up the good work!
Just stumbled upon a gen looks like.
Only a matter of time until this channel blows up. Production and narration is on point.
This is good video
Owain Glyndwr never heard of him but very interesting.
Very interesting and informative.
A very interesting character and period of UK history.
Certainly a man of his times .
Ironic the Tudors became the ruling king after War of the Roses.
I served in an American paratroop division and special forces. Many of the last names of my comrades were Welsh as is my mothers
Good stuff
Why no Hollywood movie was made on his life???? I belive that he far exceeded the exploits seen on Braveheart. He was educated and highly intelligent
Diolch mate incredibly informative video my wife is a kiwi and im currently showing her all about our history and she loves it just as much as me i can't wait too show her this video about the last great son of cymru
my greatgrandfather had a family tree our family comes from anglessey and midwales a link to owain glyndwr is cousins on 2 sides of the family griffeds and tuders ,same line thats linked to oliver cromwell and the copper mines family
a true welshborn patriot, glyndwr showed no matter the odds cymru will have a voice, echoed by the defiance against tyranny. Owain glyndwr was the last true prince of wales, all others are not.
diolch yn ffrind
I had no idea the Welsh were planning on conquering all of England lol.

@@RestitutorEuropa Not an ‘invasion’ if they were owed asylum. I get that the UK wasn’t ready to handle the US invasions of many of her former protectorates, but she still has treaties to uphold.
Diddorol iawn, diolch 👍🏻
