The Penal Laws against the Welsh (Welsh: Deddfau Penyd) were a set of laws, passed by the Parliament of England in 1401 and 1402 that discriminated against the Welsh people as a response to the Welsh Revolt of Owain Glyndŵr, which began in 1400.
The laws prohibited the Welsh from obtaining senior public office, the bearing of arms or buying property in English boroughs. Public assembly was forbidden, and Englishmen who married Welsh women were also prevented from holding office in Wales.
The laws were reaffirmed in 1431, 1433 and 1471 although were inconsistently applied in practice. They were obsoleted with the Laws in Wales Acts under Henry VIII and finally repealed in 1624.
