Prince Henry organised a naval expedition to recapture Anglesey from Welsh control in 1406. The island's grain supply was vital for provisioning the Welsh forces in Snowdonia, and its loss was a strategic blow to Glyndwr. The recapture of Anglesey was part of the systematic English recovery of north Wales that Prince Henry led from 1406 onwards. His methodical approach, using sea power and artillery, gradually dismantled Glyndwr's principality.
