In this study of Anglo-Scottish relations and of border society, the contributors examine the infrastructure beneath societies which were permanently `organized for war'. They draw on Anglo-Scottish archival material to argue that the issues which feature in other frontier societies - acculturation and the creation of special institutions - appeared also on the Anglo-Scottish frontier. The book uses the celebrated Battle of Otterburn as a starting-point for a major reassessment of border society, challenging the view put forward in popular ballads that the borders were isolated and self-contained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51859895386400,"sku":"NEW0415080215","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81i4T_OwJdL.jpg?v=1781595783","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/war-and-border-societies-in-the-middle-ages-0415080215","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
