Owain Glyndwr / Peasant Revolt

After the death of Aymer de Valence Pembroke Castle reverted to Richard II. It was granted out in a series of short tenancies and began to fall into disrepair. In 1400 the great Welsh soldier, patriot and hero, Owain Glyndwr, led yet another rebellion against the hated English settlers.

Pembroke escaped a siege because the Constable at the time, Francis а Court, bought off Glydwr with the Welsh equivalent of danegeld.
