The Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen

Pumlumon, Ceredigion

Owain Glyndŵr's first great victory, high in the Welsh mountains.

In 1401, early in his rebellion, Owain Glyndŵr and a few hundred men were surrounded in the Hyddgen valley on Pumlumon by a much larger force of English and Flemish settlers. Glyndŵr's men charged and won a stunning victory.
