abstract	Hywel was born on the 16th April 1474 in Caernarfon Castle first son to Owain and Queen Anne. Hywel's birth coincided with his fathers middle reign, where his codification of Welsh Law began, as such Hywel was brought up in a court filled with lawyers, politicians, Chancellors, and nobles all vying for power, positions and influence. His father sitting in the centre of this maelstrom encouraged his son and heir to sit with him, learning from an early age the mechanisms of power. Hywel benefited from this and the 1482 saw Hywel's first use as a political pawn of his father. Betrothed to the Lady of Northumberland, Margaret, it was envisioned as a continuation of the Tripartite Pact of the War of Independence, however, the marriage never occurred. The Lady Margaret was moved to Harlech for the proxy marriage when she was five years of age, with Hywel being seven. Just four years later the now nine year old Lady Margaret died and Hywel continued to learn his trade at this father's knee. By the end of Owain's reign, the teenaged Prince was by now a cocksure militant Prince. He could see that Wales was in effect two separate countries. Wales Proper, and Wales Marcher (Pura Wallia & Marcher Wallia), Hywel agitated for change in this, but at the time the power of Earl Edmund was still too great both at court and within the March. Allies such as Hywel had were relatively powerless themselves, the premier ally being the new Prince of Powys, Maredudd. Hywel attended to Henri Tudor when he landed in Milford Haven, attending to him until he left Wales for his final battle with Richard III and the impression of Henry remained with Hywel to the end of his days. It was at this time that Hywel started agitating his father for permission to raid Bristol, a city long a thorn in Welsh merchants sides. His father reluctantly gave his son his blessing, but Hywel had barely started actions against the English city when the Rebellion of March exploded.
