Marcher lord
text:
A marcher lord was a noble appointed by the king of England to guard the border between England and Wales. A marcher lord was the English equivalent of a margrave or a marquis before the introduction of the title of "marquess" in Britain; no marcher lord ever bore the rank of marquess. In this context, the word march means a border region or frontier, and is cognate with the verb "to march", both ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *mereg-, "edge" or "boundary".
