in the Welsh Revolt, led by Owain Glyndŵr. This view is also suggested by author Jon Gower, who says that the Penal Laws of 1401-1402 banned the Welsh people from gaining land or property across the border, or from making fortifications to their own houses, or bearing arms or congregating in mass numbers or encouraging bards. He says that these laws only encouraged the Welsh to revolt. The laws encouraged more Welsh citizens to support Glyndŵr's revolt with Welsh labourers, students and nobles leaving England to support the cause.
