The dragon proved less fortunate for Henry III and the English army at the battle of Lewes in 1216. However, he installed the dragon standard at Westminster Abbey, and it was used by his son Edward I, and later still by Edward III at the battle of Crécy (1346), in which Welsh archers dressed in green and white played a key role. The ensign used aboard ships of the Welsh Government, such as the patrol boats of the Marine and Fisheries Division. [1]

Glyndŵr, facing years on the run, finally lost his estate in the spring of 1403, when Prince Henry as usual marched into Wales unopposed and burnt down Glyndŵr's houses at Sycharth and Glyndyfrdwy, as well as the commote of Edeirnion and parts of Powys. Glyndŵr continued to besiege towns and burn down castles; for 10 days in July that year, he toured the south and southwest of Wales until all of the south joined arms in rebelling against English rule. These actions induced an internal rebellion against the King of England, with the Percys joining the rising. [6] It is around this stage of Glyndŵr's life that Hywel Sele, a cousin of the Welsh prince, attempted to assassinate Glyndŵr at the Nannau estate.

His revolution against English rule attracted people from across Wales to follow his lead, but despite early victories, and a formal coronation in 1404 as Prince of Wales, the rebellion ultimately failed. On 16 September 1400, Owain Glyndŵr proclaimed himself Prince of Wales. [3] He instigated a 15-year Welsh Revolt against the rule of King Henry IV of England. [4] His troops inflicted a series of defeats on the English forces and captured key castles across Wales, rapidly gaining control of most of the country. Glyndŵr received naval support from Scotland and Brittany and also received the support of King Charles VI of France. [5] In 1403 a Welsh army including a French contingent, commanded by Owain Glyndŵr, his senior general Rhys Gethin and Cadwgan, Lord of Glyn Rhondda, defeated a large English invasion force reputedly led by King Henry IV himself at the Battle of Stalling Down in Glamorgan.
