The author traces the development of Owain Glyndwr as a national redeemer in Welsh folklore, history and literature. Glyndwr, who led the last major armed rebellion of the Welsh against the English at the beginning of the 15th century, was viewed in his own time as redeemer-hero (the hero who will restore the nation to its former glory) and has since become a primary symbol of modern Welsh nationalism.
