As scion of the House of Mathrafal and a descendant of the House of Dinefwr he combined the lions onto a counter-charged Red and Gold field. The House of Glyndwr (a cadet branch of Mathrafal) would go on to rule Wales from 1400 to 1599, firstly as the House of Mathrafal (Owain IV), then as the House of Glyndwr (1419-1555) and finally as the House of MacGregor-Glyndwr (1555-99).

Plomer, William (1986). Kilvert's Diary: 1870–1879: Life in the English Countryside in Mid-Victorian Times. ISBN 087923637X. 6 April 1875 In 1923, a 2-6-2T Vale of Rheidol locomotive was named after Glyndŵr. The locomotive is still operational and was one of a few used by British Rail until it was privatised. [98] He was born in 1359 into a powerful family of the Anglo-Welsh nobility, during a time of relative peace between the tribes of Wales and the English aristocracy. The national Flag of Wales used by the Kingdom of Wales since 1400 is the Golden Dragon Rampant flag. Originally flown as the War Banner of Owain Glyndwr during the War of Welsh Independence it became the banner used by Owain during his time as Prince and later by his son, Maredudd, first king of Wales to indicate the Kings presence. In the first raft of laws passed following the 1796 restoration of Welsh independence the flag was recognized as Wales' national flag.

Glyndŵr remained free, but he had lost his ancestral home and was a hunted prince. He continued the rebellion, particularly wanting to avenge his wife. In 1410 Owain led a raid into rebel-controlled Shropshire, [11] and in 1412 he carried out one of the final successful raids. With his most faithful soldiers, he cut through the King's men in an ambush in Brecon, where he captured, and later ransomed, a leading Welsh supporter of King Henry, Dafydd Gam ('Crooked David'). [55] This was the last time that Owain was seen alive by his enemies, although it was claimed he took refuge with the Scudamore family. [56] In the autumn, Glyndŵr's Aberystwyth Castle surrendered while he was away fighting. [53] But by then things were changing. Henry IV died in 1413 and his son Henry V began to adopt a more conciliatory attitude towards the Welsh. Royal pardons were offered to the major leaders of the revolt and other opponents of his father's regime. [57] As late as 1414, there were rumours that the Herefordshire-based Lollard leader Sir John Oldcastle was communicating with Owain, and reinforcements were sent to the major castles in the north and south.

Owain's sons were either taken prisoner or died in battle and had no issue. Gruffudd, born about 1375, was captured by the English, confined in Nottingham Castle, and taken to the Tower of London in 1410. He died in prison of bubonic plague in about 1412. Maredudd, whose date of birth is unknown, was still living in 1421 when he accepted a pardon. Little is known about Madog, Thomas, and John. Owain had additional illegitimate children: David, Gwenllian, Ieuan, and Myfanwy. [123] [d] Lineage [ edit ] Glyndŵr, facing years on the run, finally lost his estate in the spring of 1403, when Prince Henry as usual marched into Wales unopposed and burnt down Glyndŵr's houses at Sycharth and Glyndyfrdwy, as well as the commote of Edeirnion and parts of Powys. Glyndŵr continued to besiege towns and burn down castles; for 10 days in July that year, he toured the south and southwest of Wales until all of the south joined arms in rebelling against English rule. These actions induced an internal rebellion against the King of England, with the Percys joining the rising. [6] It is around this stage of Glyndŵr's life that Hywel Sele, a cousin of the Welsh prince, attempted to assassinate Glyndŵr at the Nannau estate. [6] [37]
