Summary
the revolt of Owain Glyn Dŵr, which had begun some three months before the fifteenth century opened, belongs really to the history of the fourteenth century; the next chapter in the history of Wales begins as the revolt drew to a close and the comment that ‘modern Wales begins in 1410’ has in it a measure of truth. The revolt can justly be described as the most important event between Edward I’s conquest of Gwynedd in 1282 and the first Act of Union of 1536 and the description of it as ‘the massive protest of a conquered people’ and as the completion of the Edwardian conquest places it firmly in its historical context. Its end marks a significant point in the history of medieval and early modern Wales and is a reminder that the traditional bench-mark of 1485 is, in many ways, irrelevant in Welsh terms, even if that year did see the triumph of a dynasty of Welsh extraction and the accession to the English throne of the great-grandson of a man who had been in rebellion with Glyn Dŵr. The ending of the revolt marks the beginning of a change in the attitudes and perceptions of the Welsh political nation; the vision of the restoration of an ancient independence was replaced by the urge to work within a wider political dimension.
