A leading Welsh historian will explore the story and legacy of Owain Glyndŵr at a major new history festival taking place just over the border this summer.
Author and broadcaster Nathen Amin will appear at the inaugural Tewkesbury History Festival (18–21 June), presenting a special event:
Owain Glyndŵr: Rebel, Prince, Visionary
The talk, taking place on Saturday 20 June, examines the life of the last native Prince of Wales and explores why Glyndŵr remains such an important figure in Welsh history and identity today.
Nathen Amin, one of Wales’ best-known popular historians and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, is a huge draw for the Festival.
Possible topics of interest include:
- The enduring importance of Welsh history and identity
- The myths and truths surrounding Glyndŵr
- The Welsh origins of the Tudor dynasty
- Why interest in Welsh history is growing
The wider Tewkesbury History Festival brings together well-known historians, authors and broadcasters including Alison Weir, Suzannah Lipscomb and Kate Lister, with events ranging from medieval history and folklore to WWII and family-friendly talks.
Located an hour from Newport, 90 minutes from Cardiff, and two hours from Swansea, the festival aims to attract visitors from across the region for a weekend celebrating British and Welsh history in the heart of one of England’s best-preserved medieval towns.
