		Marche was bounded on the north by Berry, on the east by Bourbonnais and Auvergne; on the south by Limousin itself and on the west by Poitou.
		Marche were repeated on a miniature level, fringing many of the small territorial states of pre-Risorgimento Italy with a ring of smaller dependencies on their borders, which represent territorial marche on a small scale.

		A Danish march, which gave the name of Denmark; a Saxon marche (both to protect the north of Germany); a Sorb march (Elbe region), an Avar marche (around the Danube),; a Friulian march in Italy; a Gascon march and a Breton march (north of Nantes).

		I refer to the House of La Marche and that of Angoulême which developed in a part of Western Aquitaine that lay between Poitou and the Garonne and from Limousin to the Atlantic.
		Soon after 1050, Raymond of Saint-Gilles, the younger son of Count Pons and Almodis, was to build upon this prestige and such possessions to create a true principality in Languedoc, one that could match in power those which had already been formed by the counts of Barcelona and the dukes of Aquitaine.

		Largely from the pen of Ademar of Chabannes we learn of the efforts of the counts of Poitou, now dukes of Aquitaine, to advance their domains south into Saintonge, Angoulême, the Limousin, and finally Gascony, first in alliance with the Capetians and then with the assistance of the House of Anjou.
		Similarly, examination of the legacies left by Count Roger the Old of Carcassonne reveals that many of the castles in his domains were allods -- allods which were often divided in a rather complex way among various members of the family.
		In the Spanish March, as elsewhere in the Midi, the castle which was owned outright as an allod by an individual magnate or by important families was still to be found down to 1050.

		Thus it can be said that the influence of the Barberini court lived on in Borromini's work long after the death of Urban VIII in 1644. But this is to run ahead of our story. It is time to return to the early 1630s and to the beginnings of Borromini's independent career.
