| Abstract
|
:
|
In the Middle Ages, the March between England and Wales was a contested, militarised frontier zone, a 'land of war'. This text examines how the English aristocracy of this borderland organised themselves and their followers in order to survive against the increasing power of their Welsh opponents.
