A raid can be punished by a counter-raid; but now that Glendower has declared himself sovereign of Wales, and that everything points to the fact that the men of his nation are all ready to support him, it is a matter that touches his majesty very closely; and I doubt not that, as soon as he has finished this war with the Scots, he will march hither, at the head of his army.
Rather more than a century after, Owen Glendower attempted to take the castle, which was so gallantly defended by the governor placed in it by Henry the Fourth, that he was compelled to raise the siege. During the Civil Wars it was captured by the Parliamentary forces, under General Mytton. Such are the chief historical events I recollect connected with the fine old ruin.
I have sought you several times since the last night we met, but in vain; you had left your lodgings, and none knew whither. I would fain talk with you. I have a scheme to propose to you which will make you rich forever, rich, literally rich! not merely above poverty, but high in affluence!" Glendower looked incredulously at the speaker, who continued, "The scheme has danger: that you can dare!"
"But I have," said the man; "and of Owain Glendower too." "Do people talk much of Owen Glendower in these parts?" said I.

How then do you, can you, reconcile it to your conscience, to suffer your wife and child to perish before your eyes?" "Man, man," said Glendower, "tempt me no more: let them die! At present the worst is death: what you offer me is dishonour."
He marched to Bangor, levelled the cathedral, and that of Saint Asaph, by fire, burnt the episcopal palaces and canons' houses. So formidable did he become that the king issued writs, to the lieutenants of no fewer than thirty-four counties, to assemble their forces at Lichfield, to crush Glendower.
