Paperback. Blood on the Border and the Making of the Anglo-Scottish Frontier For three centuries, the Anglo-Scottish border was the most violent and ungovernable strip of ground in Britain. Patrolled by armoured riders who burned settlements, stole livestock, and killed without ceremony, the borderlands operated as a parallel civilisation, one that two sovereign crowns could neither control nor afford to abandon. The reivers, as they were known, were not mere criminals. They were the rational product of a frontier that had been organised, across generations of warfare and institutional failure, to reward exactly the kind of organised predation they practised.Blood and Border traces the full arc of this extraordinary world, from Hadrian's decision to draw a line across the landscape of Roman Britain to the systematic pacification that finally dismantled reiver culture in the years after the union of the English and Scottish crowns in 1603. Along the way it examines the great marcher dynasties, the Douglases, the Kers of Cessford, the Scotts of Buccleuch, and the formal legal architecture of the Leges Marchiarum, the bilateral court system that was supposed to govern the frontier and instead became one of its most reliable instruments of injustice.At the centre of the book's final act stands an unlikely partnership: an English deputy warden who executed a notorious Scottish raider, and the Scottish warden who had guaranteed that raider's safety. What happened between Robert Carey and Robert Ker of Cessford in the aftermath of that execution, the crisis, the assassination attempt, the custody arrangement, and the friendship it produced, is the most human story the border ever generated, and the closest it ever came to governing itself. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
