. Owen Glyndwr und der letzte Kampf um walisische Unabhängigkeit, mit einer kurzen Skizze der walisischen Geschichte; voller feuriger Formen; die Ziegen liefen aus den Bergen, Und die HerdsHier sind die furchtsamen Fields.These Zeichen haben mich außergewöhnlich markiert, und alle Kurse meines Lebens zeigen, ich bin nicht in der Rolle der einfachen Menschen. IN diesen berühmten Zeilen erzählt uns der Glyndwr von Shakespeare, wenn auch nicht vielleicht ein sehr getreues Porträt des wahren Glyndwr, von jenen Schreckensporträten, die seine Geburt einläuteten. Bisher jedoch, Tradi-tion Ringe wahr genug in den Zeilen des großen Dichters, und ist sogar s

. Owen Glyndwr and the last struggle for Welsh independence, with a brief sketch of Welsh history;. s full of fiery shapes ;The goats ran from the mountains, and the herdsWere strangely clamorous to the frighted fields.These signs have marked me extraordinary, And all the courses of my life do show, I am not in the roll of common men. IN these famous lines the Glyndwr of Shakespeare, though not, perhaps, a very faithful portrait ofthe true Glyndwr, tells us of those dread portentswhich heralded his birth. Thus far, however, tradi-tion rings true enough in the lines of the great poet, and is even shorn of some of the most fearsome de-tails it has sent down to us through various channels.Shakespeares Glyndwr might, for instance, have toldus, what all Welshmen of his day were well assuredof, that on that memorable night the horses ofGriffith Vychan, his father, were found standing intheir stables up to their fetlocks in blood ; and howhe himself, while still an infant in his nurses arms, was accustomed to greet with demonstrations of de-light the sight of a sword or spear and allow those 82. 1359-1399] Birth and Early Life 83 around him no peace till the deadly weapon wasplaced in his baby hand. There is great uncertainty as to the day, and somedisagreement as to the exact year, wherein old earththus shook in labour with so heroic a soul. Thisdivergency of opinion extends over the period of tenyears, from 1349 to 1359. The evidence that seemsto give the latter date unquestionable preference willbe alluded to shortly. In any case the point to benoted is that the hero of this story, judged by thestandard of his time, was quite advanced in life whenhe began the long and arduous undertaking that hasmade his name immortal, and cherished by hiscountrymen as the most famous of all names in theirhistory. For there is no shadow of a doubt that ifthe Welsh people were polled upon the subject, Owen Glyndwr would stand, by an overwhelmingmajority, at the head of the list of national her
