Everything about Maredudd Ab Owain Glynd R totally explained
Maredudd ab Owain Glyndŵr was a son of
Margaret Hanmer and
Owain Glyndŵr. He is thought to have participated in revolt raised by Glyndŵr in
Wales between
1400 and c.
1416.
Early life
Little is known about any of the children of Owain Glyndŵr, and Maredudd's date of birth is unknown. He may have been too young to be involved in the early stages of the revolt.
Unlike several of his siblings, Maredudd wasn't captured by the English in the latter stages of the rebellion. He is said to have fought with the French against the English army of King Henry V at the
Battle of Agincourt in
1415.
In 1416 he was back in
North Wales, attempting to rally opposition in this area with a force of Scots. He is known to have rejected a Royal pardon for himself, and his father, the following year, proffered by officials of King
Henry V of England.
Royal pardon
In 1420
John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford, the King's younger brother, was empowered to treat with Maredudd ab Owain on behalf of King Henry V, who asked if Maredudd would consider serving the King in
Normandy. He declined.
Maredudd accepted a pardon, for himself alone, in
1421. This has been interpreted as evidence that his father was at this point deceased. Owain Glyndwr would have been an elderly man by this time, if still alive.
It isn't yet known what happened to Maredudd after this. Like his father, he disappears from the record.
