Reading historians' views on the March of Wales from the 19th century onwards reveals a range of interpretations of the region, but these have been predominantly secular in nature. Historical constructions of Marcher lordship have varied depending on the way historiographical trends have developed, and how this subject could be placed and understood within frameworks for understanding the medieval history of England and Wales as a whole. Not since the mid-20th century have scholars dealt with the relationship between the Church in Wales and the impact this had on the constructions and development of Marcher lordships. This article explores this gap, focusing on the interplay between Church and lordship and the scope for further exploration of earlier, influential ideas, such as R. R. Davies' view that the church in the Wales played a ‘subjugation’ role in support of the military conquest, and the more nuanced observations of Glanmor Williams, who allowed for a more complicated picture to emerge based on brief analysis of certain events before 1282. In following the threads of these scholars and highlighting more recent studies, particularly in the field of family studies, where individual case studies of Marcher families has revealed more of this complex picture, this article argues for a microcosmic approach to tackle the gap and opens up avenues for future studies.

读《游行：威尔士游行者勋章和威尔士教会的解释与建构》，c。1100-1284

从19世纪开始阅读历史学家对威尔士进行曲的观点揭示了对该地区的各种解释，但这些解释本质上是世俗的。马尔史领主的历史结构因史学趋势的发展方式以及如何在理解英格兰和威尔士整个中世纪历史的框架内放置和理解该主题而变化。自20世纪中叶以来，学者们还没有研究过威尔士教会之间的关系及其对马歇尔领主的建设和发展的影响。本文探讨了这种差距，重点讨论了教会与君主制之间的相互作用以及进一步探索较早的有影响力的思想的范围，例如RR Davies的著作。
