Owain Glyndŵr (c. 1354 – c. 1415) was a Welsh leader, soldier, and military commander who is best known for leading a 15-year Welsh revolt against English rule with the aim of achieving Welsh independence. He was the last native-born Welshman to claim the title Prince of Wales. Glyndŵr was an educated lawyer who formed the first Welsh parliament under his rule. In 1400, a dispute with an English lord escalated into a national revolt, rallying Welsh commoners and nobles against English forces. By 1404, he had control over much of Wales, was proclaimed Prince of Wales by his supporters, and received military aid from France, Brittany, and Scotland. Under his leadership, the first Welsh parliament was summoned at Machynlleth where plans were made to establish Welsh universities, revive medieval Welsh laws, and build an independent Welsh church. Despite early successes, the revolt was eventually suppressed. Glyndŵr evaded capture for years using guerrilla tactics. His final years are shrouded in mystery, with his exact date of death uncertain but believed to be around 1415. He is remembered as a symbol of Welsh nationalism and heroism.
