    A History of Wales The Romans occupied the whole of Wales, where they built Owain Glyndwr In 1400, a Welsh nobleman, Owain Glyn Dwr or Owen Glendower,  
    http://www.walesonline.com/info/history.shtml
    
    Extractions: The earliest inhabitants of Wales were from continental Europe, who migrated in several waves and who later adopted the culture of the Celts . There is strong evidence (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/1256894.stm) that the original language and culture of the Welsh was similar to that of the Basque and that the Welsh are descendents of the original people of Britain and Ireland. Up to and during the Roman occupation of Britain, Wales was not a separate country, but all inhabitants of Britain and Ireland spoke Celtic languages and were essentially of the same ethnic origin. The Romans occupied the whole of Wales, where they built roads and forts, mined gold and conducted commerce, but their interest in it was limited, because of the difficult geography and shortage of flat agricultural land. They established only one town in Wales - Caerwent (Venta Silurum). The Silures were the major tribe of south-east Wales. Their military leader, Caratacus (Caradoc), had joined them from another, defeated, tribe. Under his leadership, they defied the Romans for a period after the Claudian invasion, but eventually Caratacus was captured and taken to Rome, where his dignified bearing made such an impression on the people that his life was spared.

These are generally called dolmens, but in Wales are called cromlechs. Bronze Age (2100- about 700 BC) Large number of standing stones, although no generally accepted evidence that these do come from the Bronze Age. The word for these stones menhir comes from the Welsh maen hir , long stone. Other remains are round barrows. Iron Age The arrival of the Celts, sometime between 760-700 BC. from Central Europe. Many hill forts were built. Romans The Romans arrived in Britain in 43 AD. When they arrived, they recorded four tribes in Wales - the Ordovices and Deceangli in the North, the Demetae and Silures in the South. They were resisted by the Silures of South Wales and the Ordovicians of North Wales, under Caractacus. The names of these tribes live on in the names of early geological ages. However the hill forts were no match for the Romans. The Romans destroyed the Druids in the base in Anglesey. Two legionary forts were built at Caerleon and Deva (Chester), the latter being in England (just).

Antiquarian maps From the Western Mail, March 23 2000 Owain Glyndwr is one of the key figures in Welsh heritage. He was of noble birth on both sides, being connected to all the Welsh ruling families. He had homes at Glyndyfrdwy, in the Dee Valley in north Wales and at Sycharth, near Bala , the latter being described by Iolo Goch, his family bard, as “this mansion of generosity”. He led a conventional life, studying law in London, and serving with Richard II in France and Scotland. When Richard was usurped by Henry IV, many refused to believe that he had died, probably from starvation. There was much unrest because of the harsh rule of England, and strained relations between Owain and his neighbour Lord Grey of Ruthin, a close friend of Henry. When in 1400 Lord Grey deliberately delayed summoning Glyndwr to serve in the army in Scotland until it was too late to make an explanation, the uprising began with an attack on
