Marchers
Read a random definition: DDU
A quick definition of Marchers:
Marchers were lords who lived on the borders of Scotland and Wales. They had their own private laws and were allowed to operate under the permission of the English sovereigns. They were almost like independent rulers and had a mix of Welsh custom and English law known as the custom of the Marches. However, their allegiance to the English crown was not very strong, and it was necessary to declare that they were annexed to the crown of England and not to the principality of Wales. The laws of the Marchers were eventually abolished by a statute in 27 Hen. 8, ch. 26.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Marchers were lords who lived on the borders of Scotland and Wales and operated under their own private laws with the permission of English sovereigns.

Examples: The Lords Marchers were a group of powerful lords who held land on the borders of Scotland and Wales. They were allowed to operate under their own laws and were not subject to the laws of England. They were able to maintain their own armies and were often involved in conflicts with their neighbors.
Explanation: The examples illustrate how the Lords Marchers were able to operate independently and maintain their own laws and armies. They were able to exert a great deal of power and influence in their territories, which were often located in remote and difficult to access areas. The Lords Marchers were eventually brought under the control of the English crown, but their legacy lived on in the customs and laws of the Marches.
