English Marches

I am going to have to disagree with the sentence that the Scottish Marches were the term for both sides of the border, The English side from the Northumberland coast to the Solway Firth and down to Lancaster is know as the English Marches [1] --Pandaplodder (talk) 10:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fray occured when a violent battle broke out, following an argument between a Warden of the English Marches and the Keeper of Liddesdale, who ironically, were both employed to keep the peace on their respective sides of the border"
