Owen Glendower, born in his ancient Patrimony of Glendower-Wye, was bred in London, a Student of the Common Law, till he became a Courtier and Servant to King Richard 2. After whose death, being in the wrong side of preferment, he retired into Wales, where there arose a difference between him and the Lord Gre of Ruthen, about a Common, which Owen by force recovered from Gre, whom he killed. Many spur'd his posting Ambition, by telling him he was the true Heir to all North-Wales, and now or never the time to regain it; whereupon he brake into open Rebellion. Being angry with the King, his Revenge fell upon God; burning down the fair Cathedrals of Bangor, and St. Asaph. Doing mischiefs to others, he did no good to himself. King Henry 4. found it more easie to depose King Richard then subdue this Owen, who had taken Roger Earl of March, and next Heir to the Crown, Prisoner.
