The Border Reiver

Prior to the unification of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland the border between the two nations was disputed and ill defined. For centuries Families or Clans living beside these Debatable Lands were caught up in a lawless existence where English or Scots Law was almost impossible to enforce. Survival of the fittest was the normality with feuding, murder and pillaging part of everyday life. Reiving, the local word for Raiding was rife with farms regularly losing their horses and livestock to Cattle Rustling from rival Clans.
