 * During the Glyndŵr Rising, an agreement was made between Owain Glyndŵr, Edmund Mortimer and Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland to divide England and Wales up between them upon the successful result of Glyndŵr's campaign. As part of the agreement, Percy would rule a kingdom in Northern England along with some parts of the midlands, whilst Mortimer would rule the rest of England in the south. This agreement evidences recognition of the North as a unique polity with the potential to be it's own independent state.
