The Lawless Frontier: The Anglo-Scottish Borders

3 Days

A stirring history of the border region of North-East England, from its infamous outlaw clans to the territorial battles between the English and Scottish kingdoms. On this rousing journey through the original “Wild West” – the Anglo-Scottish borders located north of Newcastle upon Tyne – discover how the area transformed from the domain of ancient British tribes to a dangerous no-man’s land of intense violence, illegality, and chaotic clan warfare. This is an exciting story of the struggle between warring nations that emerged from Roman Britain, the immense power of medieval lords, and the struggle for control of rowdy border families by successive Tudor and Stuart governments.
