Owain Glyndŵr: 81 /Genghis Kahn 78

Owain proved multiple times to be a cunning military tactician beating back several invading English armies, they were superior in size, equipment, training and overall a superior fighting force, despite fighting with a poorly armed rebel army, his Guerrilla fighting ability's have been praised by successful modern revolutionaries such as Fidel Castro. Khan while a skilled tactician, was more reliant on his commanding officers to take command of battles when he was not present.

Strategy

Owain Glyndŵr: 71/ Genghis Kahn: 87

In Terms of overall strategy Khan comes out ahead, Owain, despite having a long running rebellion, ultimately failed to free Wales from the English. Khan, while having a less defined role, continued to conquer right up until his death, even then his sons and grandson continued on with his goals.

Metallurgy

Owain Glyndŵr: 92/ Genghis Khan: 77

In Khans time the Mongol were fairly early in there Iron Age, Owain however, coming from Medieval Wales, comes from a time when the metal quality was highly refined, and additionally comes from a time period about 200 years after Khan.

Physicality

Owain Glyndŵr: 70/ Genghis Kahn: 78

Khan's diet, coming from the nomadic mongol, won't have as balanced diet and Glyndŵr, but Glyndwr is quite a bit older, and despite being in excellent physical condition for his age, once climbing a 250 foot cliff to escape capture, Khan is younger and would be slightly better shape.

Leadership

Owain Glyndŵr: 97/ Genghis Khan: 82

Khan was a excellent leader and general, but Glyndŵr's supporter despite facing the brutality of English punishment, which included several extremely painful forms of execution, never betrayed him. Because of his leadership ability's, he was never caught by his English enemies. Owain's supporters believed so strongly in him, that even with huge ransom rewards and painful punishments being dealt out, he managed to disappear into history.
