After an English victory at Campstone Hill near Grosmont, the Welsh forces moved south and won a counter-engagement at Craig-y-Dorth near Mitchel Troy, pursuing the English right up to the gates of Monmouth town. The back-and-forth nature of fighting in this region showed that neither side could achieve decisive control of south-east Wales. 1404 was one of Glyndŵr's most successful years — he also captured Aberystwyth and Harlech castles and held his first parliament at Machynlleth.
Welsh (Glyndŵr forces): c. 800–1,500 men. English: c. 600–1,200 men.
