Stretching from the North Sea to the Solway Firth, the Border region has a sharply diverse landscape.
It was a battleground for over 300 years as the English and Scottish monarchs encouraged their subjects to conduct raids across their respective borders. This Warrior book details how this narrow strip of land influenced the Borderer's way of life in times of war.
Covering every aspect of militant life, from the choice of weapons and armour to the building of fortified houses, this book explores what it must have been like to live life in a late-medieval war zone.
