Owain Glyndwr: Rebel, Prince, Visionary
Owain Glyndŵr is one of the most revered and misunderstood figures in Welsh and British history. A national hero to many and a rebel to others, Glyndŵr’s vision for an independent Wales sparked one of the most explosive uprisings against the English crown in the early 15th century. But who was the man behind the legend?
In this gripping new talk, Welsh historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society Nathen Amin delves into the remarkable story of a prince who dared to challenge an empire. With fresh insight and historical depth, he explores the life, ambition, and impact of Owain Glyndŵr and asks: who was the real Owain Glyndŵr, and what does his legacy mean more than six hundred years later?
