This book examines the making of the March of Wales and the crucial
role its lords played in the politics of medieval Britain between
the Norman conquest of England of 1066 and the English conquest of
Wales in 1283. Max Lieberman argues that the Welsh borders of
Shropshire, which were first, from c.1165, referred to as Marchia
Wallie, provide a paradigm for the creation of the March. He
reassesses the role of William the Conqueror's tenurial settlement
in the making of the March and sheds new light on the ways in which
seigneurial administrations worked in a cross-cultural context.
Finally, he explains why, from c.1300, the March of Wales included
the conquest territories in south Wales as well as the highly
autonomous border lordships. This book makes a significant and
original contribution to frontier studies, investigating both the
creation and the changing perception of a medieval borderland.
