Publisher's Note Owain Glyn Dwr is the most commanding figure in the history of Wales, His revolt (1400-1409) gave the people of Wales a glimpse of their country as an independent state. Written by Britain's leading medieval historian, this is the first scholarly book for over fifty years to present Owain and his revolt to a general audience. It will appeal to those who are fascinated by national heroes in all periods and is of particular interest to those who are intrigued by this most famous movement in the history of Wales, and by the mystery surrounding its remarkable leader.
Industry Reviews "...lively and authoritative..." London Review of Books - Terence Hawkes (02/22/1996)
"More than 60 years after J. E. Lloyd's classic biography, 'Owen Glendower', appeared in print, R. R. Davies has produced a new study of the revolt and of the society into which it erupted--a study which deserves immediate recognition as a contemporary classic." Times Literary Supplement - Helen Castor (03/01/1996)
"Combining recent scholarship on the revolt with his own unrivalled knowledge of medieval Wales, Professor Rees Davies sets the rebellion more firmly in its contemporary context than ever before. The result is a meticulously researched and beautifully-written account which is a pleasure to read." Good Book Guide (02/19/1996)
