Owen Glendower is a name synonymous with Welsh nationalism. Famed for instigating the Welsh Revolt against Henry IV and immortalised by Shakespeare, after his death he gained a mythical status as an Arthur-like figure who would one day return to lead the Welsh people to freedom. Descended from the ancient royal bloodline, he was the last Welsh Prince of Wales and a towering figure on the historical stage. He was a man ahead of his times: not just a great leader, fighter and passionate lover, but a man of exceptional strength, vision and intellect, fiercely loyal to those he loved, and that which he believed in. Set amidst the savagery and turbulence of fifteenth century Britain, Martha Rofheart superbly brings to the life the troubled reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, and Owen Glendower. Going behind the mists of time, Rofheart’s dramatic novel tells the story of the man who became the legend, charting his rise through the eyes of those closest to him, and the rise of ‘Glendower Country’ itself… Wales. Praise for Martha Rofheart: ‘A red-blooded account of war, a fine, sweep of loves and hates, a genuinely Princely last Prince of Wales.’ The Observer ‘A turbulent period vividly caught.’ Books and Bookmen ‘Glendower Country’ is a thrilling historical tale of adventure, endeavour and romance. It was originally published as ‘Cry “God for Glendower”’. Martha Rofheart (1917–1990) was an American writer of historical novels, an actress and early in her career, a model. She is also the author of ‘Fortune Made His Sword’ and ‘Lionheart’. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher.

The story takes place in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The story is told by several narratives of main characters in the novel such as: Geoffrey Chaucer, Lady Hanmer of Flintshire-later his wife, Griffith Lloyd-Owen's bard among other characters. Owen is the last Welsh Prince of Wales with a personality and physical presence that is striking for a man, from what was considered a wild and subject courntry of England.He struggles with his desire for peace while at the same time he wages war on England to recognize Wale's independence. A complex, exciting story of a man who would be king of Wales, but really didn't want to.This is an out-of-print books, however I found a copy easily enough, and is well worth the effort and time to read. Like all of Rofheart's books they are narratives of several characters, some historical, others fictional.
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The legend of Owen Glendower comes to life... By Blaze A historical novel about the Welsh hero Owen Glendower, descendant of Llewellyn the Great. Handsome, educated, well-traveled, and cosmopolitan, Rofheart paints Glendower as a renaissance man, raised during a time of peace and inclusion for the Welsh, as the English were beginning to loosen harsh, restrictive laws from earlier wars. But all that changed when Edward III's grandson, Richard II was forced to abdicate and then was murdered by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV). Welsh sympathies fell on the side of Richard, leading to a revolt against Bolingbroke.Divided into six first-person narratives, one by Owen and five other individuals who know him, Rofheart conveys through their eyes Glendower's story and the unity and sense of community of the Welsh, their individualism and their mysticism, their love of poetry, their open, more tolerant society, and their stubborn fight against the encroachment of an English feudal society that meant slavery for them.
