Glendower Country — Martha Rofheart

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”'.
