In a largely guerrilla-style rebellion, Welsh nationalist Owen Glendower (Owain Glynn Dwr) lost at Welshpool (1400), then achieved a rare victory in open battle when he surprised an English force of Hereford levies under Sir Edmund Mortimer at Pilleth near Ludlow, Shropshire. Mortimer was captured but later married Glendower’s daughter and embraced the Welsh cause.
