WELSH REVOLTS POST 1282
WELSH REVOLTS POST 1282
However, during
the following century we witness the beginnings of popular revolt and outright
rebellion as upon Stryveland 1282 - 1334, 1294 first National Anti - Colonial
Revolt, 1315 - 16 Llywelyn Bren Revolt and also Revolts at Harlech 'St
Valentines Day Massacre' 1345 as well as at Rhuddlun and Beaumaris. Where else,
that was not recorded? but for sure Outlaw Resistance was on the rise with
'Adar y Greim' of the woodlands of Wales making life tough for English
Traders and Borough settlers. All building up for the big one that is boiling
up amongst as much a Colonial Underclass as is what is left of the native Welsh
Aristocracy, Lords and Chiefs. The Lords might have sparked it on 16 Medi 1400
and with their retinues gathered their Raiding Party on Caerdrewyn on 18 Medi
1400 but at Ruthin the first 'English Town' to be attacked in the 'Great Raid',
quick to join up and provide Glyndwr with the foundations of his largely peasant
Army were Workers, Artisans and Y Clerwyr - 'Tafarn Balladeers; as Ieuan ap
Bleddyn Workman of Ruthin, Gruffydd 'Pannor' of Colleigion a Fuller and another
Fuller Maldwyn of Lyndyfrwdwy, Gwillym le Corvisor of Llanelidan a Shoe Maker,
Ken 'Tudur Thill' Tailor and Morgan also a Tailor, Ieuan ap Judde a
'Flesshewer' also Llywelyn Cayo (Surely
not Julian time travelling?) an Harper.
I dare say, if more reserch was done we would see the names of more of these
'Common Folk', later many to become post War Y Gwerin Owain '
Outlaw Rebel Resistance our Maquis or maybe we should call them 'Eithinwyr' (men of the Gorse,
I thought that one up when on Gelliwastad above Abertawe and having to walk
thru huge Gorse bushes. Not only would such hide Rebel Outlaws well but the
thorns make enemy mounted soldiers get off their horses and thus easier to
ambush and kill.
