In this episode, we explore the early life and rise to rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr, the last native Welshman to hold the title of Prince of Wales.
We delve into Glyndŵr's background and upbringing, his education and and his reluctant rebellion against England. We also examine the political and social context of Wales at the time, including the tensions between Welsh and English rulers and the discrimination Welsh people faced.
Finally, we explore his quarrel with Baron Reginald Grey, the spark that started the revolt.
