Episode 2: The Last Dragon of Wales: Owain Glyndŵr’s Rise, Fall, and Our Modern Quest

In this episode of Where Dragons Sleep: A Welsh Quest, we dive deep into the legend of Owain Glyndŵr, the last native Prince of Wales, whose rebellion against English rule turned him into a symbol of Welsh resistance and identity. We explore the rise and fall of this enigmatic figure, from his victorious battles and near-mythical leadership to his mysterious disappearance. But the mystery doesn’t end with his fall—centuries of conspiracies and unanswered questions surround the fate of his bloodline. Could his descendants still walk among us today? Could the dragon of Wales rise again?

Join me as we unravel the myths, explore the historical evidence, and follow the clues that might just lead us to the hidden truth of Glyndŵr’s legacy. This is not just a journey into the past; it’s a modern-day quest to uncover the enduring influence of Wales’ greatest hero and find out if his bloodline truly lives on.
