Owain Glyndŵr Day - 16th September
Owain Glyndŵr, who was proclaimed Prince of Wales on 16th September 1400 after rebelling against English rule, is a key figure in Welsh history and was the last Welsh-born Prince of Wales. To mark September 16th, a series of festivals and events are held across the country to celebrate the Welsh national hero. The Owain Glyndŵr Centre in Machynlleth is built on the site of the famous parliament held in 1404 at which Owain was crowned Prince of Wales.
