Happy New Year to all our friends and supporters!
Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society will meet again in the New Year on Saturday January 17th in Pembroke Town Hall, when we are pleased to welcome back Nathen Amin, Welsh historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Please note: this is a week later than the date previously advertised due to the fact that the Town Hall is undergoing repairs and will not be available earlier.
Nathen is nationally recognised for his work on the history of Henry Tudor and when he last spoke with us, introduced his latest book ‘Son of Prophesy: the Rise of Henry Tudor’. This time, however, he will turn his attention to another great Welsh hero in his talk ‘Owain Glyndwr: Rebel, Prince and Visionary’. There will be an opportunity to purchase Nathen’s books following the talk.
Owain Glyndŵr is one of the most revered and misunderstood figures in Welsh and British history. A national hero to many and a rebel to others, Glyndŵr’s vision for an independent Wales sparked one of the most explosive uprisings against the English crown in the early 15th century. But who was the man behind the legend? In this brand new talk, Nathen delves into the remarkable story of a prince who dared to challenge an empire. With fresh insight and historical depth, he explores the life, ambition, and impact of Owain Glyndŵr—and asks: who was the real Owain Glyndŵr, and what does his legacy mean more than six hundred years later?
Doors open at 10am for the Coffee Morning followed by the Talk at 11am. Open also for the event will be Pembroke Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall. A lift is available for disabled access. All are welcome to attend and entry is free.
