The Battle

History & Significance

Crown operations continued in Merionethshire into the 1420s to enforce the post-Glyndwr settlement. Several families that had adhered to the rebellion were still negotiating pardons and making payments to recover confiscated lands. Armed retinues of the local English administration periodically escorted commissioners into the uplands to suppress any residual organised defiance.
