| For almost 400 years, from the early 14th century, the Northumberland and Scottish families fought a seemingly endless series of raids and reprisals. Sheep stealing and burning each others homes became part of everyday life. They were rugged, tough people who lived by their own laws and became known as the Border Reivers. Today their descendants can be found all over the World. If you have one of the names listed above or have ever suspected that your relatives were the villainous type you can probably now have your worst fears confirmed. |
