The frontier or `marcher' societies flourished in the Middle Ages
and their influence has lasted well into modern times. In this
study of Anglo-Scottish relations and of border society, the
contributors examine the infrastructure beneath societies which
were permanently `organized for war'. They draw on Anglo-Scottish
archival material to argue that the issues which feature in other
frontier societies - acculturation and the creation of special
institutions - appeared also on the Anglo-Scottish frontier. The
book uses the celebrated Battle of Otterburn as a starting-point
for a major reassessment of border society, challenging the view
put forward in popular ballads that the borders were isolated and
self-contained.
