In the Middle Ages, the March between England and Wales was a contested frontier zone, a "land of war." Brock Holden examines how the English aristocracy of this borderland organized themselves and their followers--politically, socially, economically and militarily--in order to survive against the increasing power of their Welsh opponents.
