The Battle

History & Significance

Glyndwr operates from bases in the high Snowdonia massif, exploiting terrain that English forces cannot effectively penetrate. He is sheltered and aided by local Welsh communities despite English proclamations offering pardons. English attempts to flush him out with winter expeditions fail. His location is unknown to the English for extended periods.
