The Battle

History & Significance

Jasper Tudor landed at Barmouth on the Merionethshire coast in 1468 as part of his attempt to maintain Lancastrian resistance in Wales after the fall of Harlech was imminent. He used the coastal landing point to communicate with remaining Lancastrian supporters in Gwynedd and to receive supplies from France. The landing was the prelude to his Denbigh raid and subsequent escape to France.
