(4) | 3 | Owain Glyn Dwr is arguably the most famous figure in the history of Wales. His revolt (1400-1409) was the last major Welsh rebellion against English rule.

It is also of particular interest to those who are intrigued by this most famous movement in the history of Wales, and by the remarkable man who led therebellion.… (mais) |

On 27 October 1916 David Lloyd George, then Secretary of State for War but within a few weeks to be Prime Minister, unveiled eleven statues of distinguished figures from the Welsh past which had been commissioned to be placed in the City Hall at Cardiff, itself a building opened ten years earlier.
Preface. On Thursday 16 September 1400 a motley group of Welshmen from north-east Wales assembled at Glyndyfrdwy, a small vill located in the valley of the River Dee between Corwen and Llangollen, just within the borders of the county of Merionethshire.
