The Battle of Twthill took place at Caernarfon in North Wales on 2 November 1401 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr. Glyndŵr's success at the Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen the previous June had provided the revolt with fresh impetus, and the battle may be seen as indicative of his determination to foster revolt in the north-west after months of relative inaction in that area. In symbolic terms, the battle is most famous as the first occasion on which Glyndŵr flew his flag bearing a golden dragon on a white field, recalling the symbolism of Uther Pendragon, and thereby more solidly drawing comparisons between his revolt and Welsh political mythology of the time, which drew heavily on the image of the mab darogan or chosen son, who would free Wales from subjugation.

  • The Battle of Twthill took place at Caernarfon in North Wales on 2 November 1401 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr. Glyndŵr's success at the Battle of Mynydd Hyddgen the previous June had provided the revolt with fresh impetus, and the battle may be seen as indicative of his determination to foster revolt in the north-west after months of relative inaction in that area. In symbolic terms, the battle is most famous as the first occasion on which Glyndŵr flew his flag bearing a golden dragon on a white field, recalling the symbolism of Uther Pendragon, and thereby more solidly drawing comparisons between his revolt and Welsh political mythology of the time, which drew heavily on the image of the mab darogan or chosen son, who would free Wales from subjugation. Little is known about the particulars of the fighting; the battle ended inconclusively, with 300 Welsh soldiers reported dead, but the isolation of Caernarfon and Glyndŵr's ability to attack English positions in Wales with impunity was amply demonstrated.

  • La bataille de Tuthill eut lieu le 2 novembre 1401, près de Caernarfon (Gwynedd), au Pays de Galles. La bataille eut lieu entre les forces du chef rebelle gallois Owain Glyndŵr et l'armée anglaise du roi Henri IV. Elle s'inscrit dans la révolte des Gallois. Le succès de Glyndŵr à la bataille de Mynydd Hyddgen en juin précédent l'avait incité à reprendre sa révolte dans le Gwynedd après sa première campagne en septembre 1400. Glyndŵr aurait inscrit dans ses armoiries personnelles un dragon d'or sur fond blanc, se comparant ainsi à Uther Pendragon et se réclamant son héritier. Peu d'informations subsistent sur le combat, qui s'achève de manière indécise ; 300 Gallois avaient été tués mais Glyndŵr attaqua immédiatement le château de Caernarfon. (fr)
