A few thoughts:
1) Glendower is most likely what was originally the fief of Sir Jenkins. It is possible that Jenkins was the one who started the construction of the dungeon. Sir Jenkins himself eventually ended up becoming a Vampire. Not sure, but he may have been sired by Sir Fang. Sir Jenkins may likely be encountered somehwere in the dungeon.
2) Glendower Town has a building known as the Tomb of the Grey Dragon. The Tomb most likely connects to the dungeon. It is possible that the tomb was built to commemorate a good dragon that was slain during the Battle of Glendower. Or maybe just Gertie's lair? I am not sure about that. The statue of a grey dragon can be seen on top of the tomb.
3) I may be confusing this with the Temple of Id, but I think that Glendower's Dungeons also connect to the Dungeons of Castle Blackmoor.
4) The most famous tales from the Battle of Glendower (1015) is when the Flying Monk got his name and how he burned down the forest to turn the tide of the battle. It is not clear, but likely, that Brother Richard's brother Bosero the Drunkard also participated in the battle.
5) The Battle of Glendower was against Orc forces (serving the Egg). Perhaps some of those Orcs are still around in the dungeons?
6) I am sure you know this, but the maps of the dungeon are found in the FFC. Zimriel did some additional work on fleshing out the Dungeon that can be found here.
