Welsh Marches
The
Welsh Marches is an imprecisely defined area along and around the
border between England and
Wales in the United Kingdom. The precise meaning of the term has varied at different periods. The English term
Welsh March (in
Medieval Latin Marchia Walliae) was originally used in the
Middle Ages to denote a more precisely defined territory: the
marches between England and the
Principality of Wales, in which
Marcher lords had specific rights, exercised to some extent independently of the
king of England.
