Introduction

Reign: 1400-c.1410

Territory: Gwynedd, Môn, Powis, Cardiganshire.

His full name was Owain ap Gruffudd Fychan.

Owain’s uprising against the English throne began in Gwynedd and spread to all of Wales. His enemies thought he had supernatural powers because of his ability to disappear without trace and reappear suddenly.
