Llewelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan was the Welsh "Braveheart". He was publicly executed in Llandovery square by the English King in 1401 for refusing to betray the hiding place of Owain Glyndwr and the cause of Welsh freedom. This dramatic monument in his honour stands high on the castle mound. He may be invisible in his steel cloak but he will certainly never be forgotten as he watches over the town.
