Sets out to promote the holding in 2014 of a major National Commemoration to celebrate the 660th anniversary of the birth of our national hero Owain Glyndwr on 28 May 1354. Celebrating throughout Wales and the World this great Welsh man declared Owain IV Tywysog Cymru at Senedd Glyndwr, Machynlleth on 21 Mehefin 1404. Alternative to Cadw Glyndwr Interpretive Plan that denies our national hero true national commemorative status.
"…. It was told to many a child that when the great Prince Owain was born that he did start to cry and would not be quiet, until his father had allowed the young babes hand to touch the hilt of his sword. It was also told that when the Prince Owain was born that in his father’s stable the horses did go wild and stamp in their stalls until their fetlocks bled. It was further told that on the night of Prince Owain's birth there were great storms, the flash of lightening and the crash of thunder and the rivers did, in torrents, flood their banks. It was also much whispered that in the skies to the East a fiery comet was seen to streak the heavens - and far away, in the halls of the English kings at Westminster, four little bells, all of their own accord, did start to ring, ring, ring and ring - much to the disdain and fear of the English Courtiers who, one day, would contemptuously refer to Prince Owain as the one who led the “Bare foot Welsh Doggis”, words, we are sure, they came to regret using in such rash haste. Thus, such things are the stuff of myth and legend born....
Dewch i ni gyd heddiw, ar Ddyddiad Genedigaeth Tywysog Owain Glyndŵr osod ei faner - ein wir faner dros Annibyniaeth, mewn safle lle ellir ei gweld yn glir, dyma'r her mwyaf i Frenhiniaeth Lloegr tra fyddant yn trespasu yng nghenedl Glyndŵr eleni a cofiwch godi gwydriad i'n harwr mwyaf heddiw. MAE'R BRWYDRO YN PARHAU!
Some say he died others that he just retired and left the continuation of the struggle to his son Maredudd who sustained a guerilla war up to 1422. We consider the view that he sleeps in 'Ogof Glyndwr' awaiting a call from a new generation of pobl Glyndwr, perhaps in our time and in this year of 2016. But that return derpends how loud that call will be and up to now and not least over the years 2014 - 2015 it has not been very loud more so pathetically quite indeed suffocated by the false prophets of Plaid Cymru and now it's dilettante camp followers of the so called 'YESCYMRU' crowd who favour a neo colonial parliament in Cardiff Bay. You who are prepared to swear 'Juratus Oweyn' might change all this by arising to the challenge of a real Welsh Nationalist struggle to restore 'SENEDD GLYNDWR - SENEDD CENEDL CYMRU RHYDD'. To this end purpose you will have to do a lot better than you have done in recent years where far too many so called patriots choose to be 'Cilmeri Cream Crackers' (Grumbling Patriots) aka Playstation patriots as 'Hawliau' and Nappy Rash Warriors as 'Balchder Cymru, none ever to be 'Gwerin Oweyn'. So, what to do? read this and other of our Glyndwr blogs and get on with the job of really seeking Welsh Freedom and campaigning for Welsh Independence ASAP!
The below provides good information as to the areas of Hanes Glyndwr you might wish to commemorate and celebrate over the coming years of G660 - 2014 to 2016 and beyond. Such may be organised in a number of ways as Enthusiasts Field Trips and Patriotic Rallies also other local community Gwaith Glyndwr as Exhibitions in local Libraries and community centres, setting up plaques, creating Glyndwr trails and adopting Brwydrau Glyndwr Battle Sites and campaign for them to be taken care of by local authorities and recognised by CADW with a special Golden Dragon Plaque. See below Hanes Glyndwr Battle Site Initiative.
Sian Ifan of Embassy Glyndwr launches her excellent Hanes Glyndwr exhibition at Cefn Caer Haf 2013.
Hanes Glyndwr Battle Site Initiative.
Don't wait for local Authorities to get the job done, you can make a start and go set up plaques regards your local adopted Battle Site as follows, see below: Down load foto of Battle Site Plaque Blank 6 X 4 foto size, add name of Battle site and photo copy enlarge to A4 Size, laminate and attach to slightly larger wood/HB panel and set up where best suited. Otherwise add and arrow and use also as a direction finder for others to locate battle site. So as this work is not duplicated, get in touch and we can inform if a Battle site as been adopted already or not. At least make this your contribution to G660 Commemorative program.
Useful to this will be my Brwydrau Glyndwr and I'r Gad Welsh Battlefield Campaign Blogs:
Recently did a trip North and seen few Baneri Glyndwr flyiing and none at all in Caernarfon, there it was all 'Tudor Rags' to show the Town as truly Cambro Brit Loyal to the English Crown:
So, had to make a point of showing Baner Glyndwr over Yr Maes.
Hopefully by next year and thru to 2015, 2016 and beyond we will start to see much more of Baneri Glyndwr in Caernarfon and elsewhere.
Plus on 2 Tachwedd annually lets see Y Draig Aur raised high on Twt Hill again as raised in 1401 in challenge to English Rule.
of Glyndŵr's Banner; Golden dragon flag (Baner Y Ddraig Aur) .....battle flag, on Twt hill overlooking Caernarfon Castle on 2 November 1401.
Returning South, great to see that the Braich Goch Bunk House was flying Baner Glyndwr.
