The Battle

History & Significance

Royal commissioners in Carmarthenshire issued final pardons and enforced penalties against those who had supported the Glyndwr rebellion. Armed hold-outs in the Towy valley were hunted by local forces. Several minor Welsh gentry families lost their lands permanently as a result of their adherence to the rebellion.
