Borderers

The Borderers' are Scottish-and-Englishmen who migrated to Brunant in the late 17th and 18th century.

History
The Borderers were people who originally lived along the Anglo-Scottish border. Many of them were Reivers. Some of these men served with the English army in the Low Countries. Many of these men would later come to Brunant aboard Dutch ships and settled in the Carrington Parish area. After the union between Scotland and England in 1707, many more Borderers (usually Catholics) came to Brunant around this time. But, increasing Dutch immigration and population movements forced most of these people inland to Central Parish. Soon these people were angry at the nation's leaders for wanting to remove their lands and assimilate them. In 1778, increasing disillusionment led to a large-scale revolt to achieve independence, or at least autonomy. By 1781 this revolt had largely failed, and it was this that prompted Carrington to invade; he felt his "blood comrades" had to be helped out.
