As he marched his troops through Wales to Bosworth, Henry Tudor - shortly to be Henry VII - flew the red dragon of Cadwallader, from whom he claimed ancestry, on the white and green Tudor colours. The standard bears a marked similarity to the arms of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, the flag of the royal house of Gwynedd. Llewelyn was the last prince of Wales prior to its conquest by Edward I. With his death, Owain acquired a mythical status along with Cadwaladr, Cynan and Arthur as a folk hero awaiting the call to return and liberate his people, Y Mab Darogan (The Foretold Son).
