❤️🤍💚 OWAIN GLYNDŴR DAY — 16 MEDI / 16 SEPTEMBER 💚🤍❤️
Today, Charlie’s 1922 proudly celebrates Owain Glyndŵr Day and remembers one of the most important figures in Welsh history. 🐉⚔️🏰
👑 BUT WHO WAS OWAIN GLYNDŴR?
Born around 1359, Owain Glyndŵr was a Welsh nobleman, soldier and leader who became the figurehead of a major Welsh uprising against the rule of King Henry IV of England.
⚔️ On 16 September 1400, Glyndŵr was proclaimed Prince of Wales by his supporters, marking the beginning of a rebellion that would continue for more than a decade.
What began as a dispute developed into a much wider struggle for Welsh independence and self-government. 🐉
At the height of the uprising, Glyndŵr controlled large areas of Wales and established a Welsh Parliament at Machynlleth in 1404. 🏰
His ambitions went beyond the battlefield. Glyndŵr envisaged a Wales with its own government and institutions, and plans were set out for Welsh universities and an independent Welsh church.
⚔️🏹 Over the following years, English forces gradually regained control. Glyndŵr was never captured, however, and his final fate remains uncertain. He disappeared from the historical record, helping turn him into one of the great legendary figures of Welsh history.
More than 600 years later, his name and his red-and-gold banner remain powerful symbols of Welsh history and identity.
