  • The Lord Warden of the Marches was an office in the governments of Scotland and England. The holders were responsible for the security of the border between the two nations, and often took part in military action. They were also responsible, along with 'Conservators of the truce', for administering the special type of border law known as March law. The Marches on both sides of the border were traditionally split into West, Middle and East, each with their own warden answerable to the Lord Warden-general. The English Western March was based on Carlisle and the Eastern March on Berwick-upon-Tweed. The offices became unnecessary after the union of the crowns of England and Scotland under King James in 1603. (en)
  • Le titre de gardien des Marches (Lord Warden of the Marches en anglais : lord-gardien des Marches en français) était une fonction officielle dans les gouvernements d'Angleterre et d'Écosse au Moyen Âge. Ses titulaires avaient la charge d'assurer la sécurité de la frontière entre les deux nations et prenaient souvent part aux campagnes militaires. Les marches des deux côtés de la frontière étaient traditionnellement divisées entre l'ouest, le milieu et l'est, chacune ayant son propre gardien — dans de rares cas, tels celui de la famille de Percy au XIVe siècle, une seule famille réunissait la garde de l'ensemble des marches. Cette charge devint inutile après l'union des Couronnes d'Angleterre et d'Écosse sous le roi Jacques Ier en 1603 et fut donc supprimée. (fr)
