Hallowed Ground Pwll Melyn, Wales
Owain Glyndŵr is the preeminent national hero of Wales. From 1400 to 1415 he led a war of independence against the English under King Henry IV. The Welsh consider Glyndŵr the last true—that is, native-born—prince of Wales (tywysog Cymru—pronounced —in Welsh). Though the English had usurped the title as early as 1282, Glyndŵr’s followers proclaimed him prince of Wales on Sept. 16, 1400.
