The Wikipedia says:
This may already be known to some of you, but it seems likely that this figure, anglicized as Owen Glendower in the works of William Shakespeare, is the inspiration for the name of the town of Glendower in Blackmoor.
Could there be more to this connection than the name?

Quote:Owain Glyndŵr (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈoʊain ɡlɨ̞nˈduːr]), or Owain Glyn Dŵr, (c. 1349 or 1359 – c. 1416) was a Welsh ruler and the last native Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales (Tywysog Cymru). He instigated a fierce and long-running but ultimately unsuccessful revolt against the English rule of Wales.[1]
