  The Welsh Marches   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Marcher lords ruled their lands as they saw fit, unlike their counterparts in England who were directly accountable to the king.
Marcher lords could build castles, administer laws, wage wars, establish towns, and "possessed all of the royal perquisites - salvage, treasure-trove, plunder and royal fish (Rowley)".
Major Marcher centers were established at the three largest cities, Chester, Shrewsbury and Hereford, and administered by powerful earls.

 Montagues in the March of Wales
"Marcher Lords" in the March of Wales were those families that, in exchange for great grants of land, were supposed to insure that Wales remained under the control of the King.
They arrived, as usual, along the twin routes of marriage and royal support; indeed the routes were closely linked for the grant of the hand of an heiress was often an act of royal munificence.
another new Marcher family, the Montagues, owed their promotion entirely to the affection of Edward III towards William Montague (d.1344), the first earl of Salisbury of his line.

 Welsh Marches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marcher Lords were progressively tied to the English kings by the grants of lands and lordships in England, where control was stricter, and where many marcher lords spent most of their time, and through the English kings' dynastic alliances with the great magnates.
In 1321 the Marcher Lords threatened to start a civil war and it was agreed that a Parliament should be called to settle the matter.
When the marcher lordships were abolished under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542, the centre of administration for Wales was established at Ludlow in Shropshire.
