Owain Glyndwr: The Lost Prince?

Owain Glyndwr (pronounced Owen Glendower) was a Welsh lord who is often referred to as, "The Lost Prince of Wales." Though many historians believed he was responsible for the old country’s downfall, Glyndwr was descended from two royal bloodlines and therefore had the support of the Welsh people in his favor when he first came to power.

The Welsh lord declared himself the Prince of Wales in 1404 and began to employ the use of guerilla warfare tactics to conquer his enemies and expand his territory. Over time, the prince’s savage warfare tactics left much of Old Wales in shambles, depleting the land and its people of resources in his quest for power.

After losing the support of his allies, he eventually realized his defeat was imminent. In 1415, Glyndwr disappeared and was never heard from again, presumed to be dead or in hiding by most historians of that time.

Though many claim to have proof of his death, his body was never found.

King Ruardian: The First Immortal?

King Ruardian was the very first king of the ancient world and the original immortal being from whom all future mythologies would one day spring. He ruled over the kingdom of Zohar, bringing peace and unity for more than a millennium, until his royal advisor--Lord Edryd, overthrew him.

Ruardian's body was never found.
