Warrior Prince: The Life of Owain Glyndwr

Warrior Prince: The Life of Owain Glyndwr

Ian Skidmore
3.4/5 ( ratings)
Statesman, law-maker, scholar, military genius and folk legend Owain Glyndwr is Wales's supreme national hero.

Few stories in British or Welsh history compare with the career of this simple yeoman farmer who, in the 14th century, raised an army against the English and became Prince of his own country.

In this brilliantly researched biography, Ian Skidmore brings the man and his age vividly to life, charting both the triumph and tragedy of a leader who symbolised the ambitions of a nation.

With original research, Skidmore outlines Owain' s campaigns in illuminating detail. Separating the myth and the man he brings to light many aspects of his career overlooked by historians. And he unveils new evidence about his death - which remains controversial even centuries later.

'A must-read for anyone interested in one of the most fascinating and little understood stories of British and Welsh history.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.

Ian Skidmore is the author of more thirty books – many of them best-sellers. He was also one of the most widely-read newspaper columnists and radio show presenters in the UK. After thirty years with BBC Wales, he was awarded the coveted Golden Microphone Award.
