North Wales MS Mark Isherwood has today spoken in support of a Petition signed by 10,539 people calling for the Sycharth site of Owain Glyndŵr’s home to be safeguarded for future generations.
Speaking in the Senedd Chamber in the Debate on the petition, he also called for “this site not only to spotlight the well-known aspects in Wales of Owain Glyndŵr, but his whole life”.
He said:
“As a lover of the real history of the Britons, I'm pleased to support this Petition, but also call for this site not only to spotlight the well-known aspects in Wales of Owain Glyndŵr, but his whole life, his years serving the last Norman, the last Plantagenet King, Richard II, serving under Flintshire knight Sir Gregory Sais in Berwick Castle and fighting the Scots, serving Richard II fighting the French in France; the deal he then did with the Mortimers and Percys to divide Henry IV's kingdom in three; and, after his rebellion, the belief that he spent the last years of his life, as highlighted in an S4C documentary, living with family in Abbey Dore near Ewyas Harold in Herefordshire.”
