Description
Scott reinvented the Borders in a sweep of chivalric romance. In reality, the border feuds were pursued with savagery by families in England and Scotland. They continued their ‘feids’ or vendettas for decades, creating a dizzying maze of interlocking enmities. This new book weighs the evidence from a plethora of sources to provide a compelling history of border warfare. The late, great George Macdonald Fraser once remarked that the borderers were free in a way we can never imagine. He was right.
