I've deleted the reference to "one last battle" in Dolbadarn "in around 1400" during the Glyndŵr revolt. This was news to me. I can find no reference to it in the most authoritative and thorough account of the revolt, R. R. Davies' The Revolt of Owain Glyn Dŵr (Oxford University Press, 1995).

[edit] Who built it?

The article states the castle was built by the princes. I know it is very nitpicky, but isn't it absurd to think the princes built a castle? Shouldn't it state that the castle was built for the princes? -- Kainaw^(what?) 03:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Logically, your comment makes sense. However this is standard historical terminology and you'll find similar examples on every page on history subjects (and in every language, probably). "Alexander the Great conquered Asia" and "Julius Caesar invaded Britain." We all know they didn't do so singlehandedly! Enaidmawr 22:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
