1403 AD Welsh control most of Wales and gain the support of the French King, who sends a fleet of ships to the Irish sea in aid of Owain Glyndawr.
1410 AD The rebellion fails as Henry IV crushes his rebellious Barons and his military wear down the Welsh army in a series of Battles. Owain Glyndawr a mystical leader to the Welsh (said to have the power of wizardry) disappears and is not seen again.
1413 AD The new English King Henry V proclaims a free pardon for Owain Glyndawr but receives no reply.
1485 AD Henry Tudor (Henry VII) becomes the first Welsh born and ancestor King of England.
1642 AD Welsh support the Royalist cause in the English Civil War in return for continuation of freedoms first granted by Henry Tudor.
After the English King Charles I execution Oliver Cromwell the Parliamentarian military leader (soon to be Lord Protector and dictator of the new English Protectorate Republic) slights (damages to make defence impossible) many Castles in Wales so that the Welsh Nationalists or Royalists cannot effect a rebellion.
