🏴 Modern Wales was written down 600 years before it existed.📜 🇬🇧 By a Welshman who vanished into the mountains 🏔️ On 16 September 1400, Owain Glyndŵr raised his banner at Glyndyfrdwy and declared himself Prince of Wales 👑 The Welsh came to him from every valley 🐉 In 1402, he won the Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen ⚔️ By 1404, most of Wales was his 🏰 That year, in Machynlleth, he did something no Welsh prince had ever done. He called a parliament 🏛️ 4 envoys from every commote in Wales. Envoys from France 🇫🇷 from Spain 🇪🇸 from Scotland 🏴 stood beside them. Wales had a parliament.

They died in the Tower of London 🏰 By 1412, Glyndŵr was alone. He vanished into the mountains 🏔️ He was never captured. He was never betrayed. For 600 years, Wales had no parliament. The Welsh language was punished out of children. But the Pennal Letter survived 📜 Held in the Archives Nationales in Paris 🇫🇷 Waiting. In 1999, the Welsh had their assembly back 🏛️ In 2020, it was named the Senedd. The parliament of Wales 🐉 The Welsh language is now official. 2 universities for the north and the south 🎓 All that Owain wrote down. 616 years later. He hadn't failed.
