SUMMARY
It would seem that those who wielded power in England in the centuries before the Norman Conquest became somewhat obsessed with establishing borderlines: whether to keep out their neighbours, to control new land or to simply assert their identity as rulers. Ryan Lavelle airs his current thoughts on the ways in which these edge-y manifestations of ‘England’ were used by political classes, both those at the centre and those on the boundaries, as well as where the realities of life on the edge ensured that a degree of frontier fuzziness remained.
