Not for Glyndŵr the brutal public death of Braveheart, nor a grave to desecrate - only an immortal legacy of hope and freedom. No less than six separate invasions were beaten back by Glyndŵr's army of volunteers before he disappeared into history, his family and children either dead or imprisoned for life, but he was never betrayed. Yet Glyndŵr is hardly known - a cultured, literate warrior who was never betrayed or captured and vanished into history. His war is the defining era in the history of Wales. If it had not been for Owain Glyndŵr's 15-year struggle against overwhelming odds, the Welsh would not have survived as Europe's oldest nation. The first ever full-scale biography of the last native Prince of Wales who fought to maintain an independent Wales.
