History & Significance

Following the Ruthin raid, Glyndwr forces spread rapidly through north Wales attacking English boroughs and castles at Denbigh, Rhuddlan, Flint, Hawarden and Holt. The coordinated raids show pre-planning and exploit the element of surprise. English authorities are caught unprepared at the start of the revolt.
