II Wales in the Sixteenth Century Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries England was occupied in denationalizing Wales. Owen Glendower (Glyndwr) had made a desperate struggle to recover his country's indepen- dence in the early years of Henry IV's reign. His failure had been followed by a series of penal enactments which deprived Welshmen of all political or civic rights. Welsh customs were suppressed by law, and intermarriage of the Welsh and English was made a capital offence. But t...hough the government of the country was nomin- ally divided between the stewards of the royal demesnes under the Prince of Wales and the feudal landowners known as the Lord Marchers, it was practically in the latter's hands. The absence of a strong executive government combined with the new vex- atious legislation to excite the people against their rulers more effectually than before ; and the rudimentary condition of Welsh society at the time intensified the evils of divided authority in the executive government.
