====After the Rising==== The downfall of the leading magnates on the English frontier created greater opportunities for banditry. In one raid in the English Middle Marches alone, 140 captives were taken from one township.<ref>Fraser, George MacDonald. The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers. HarperCollins, 1995., pp307</ref> Following this, English Wardens of the March rode across burning and destroying property of those who had supported the Rising of the North and outlaws.<ref>Fraser, George MacDonald. The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers. HarperCollins, 1995., pp307-8</ref> Banditry persisted for decades, necessitating continued [[March law (Anglo-Scottish border)|Truce Days]], some ending in violence, as seen in Reidsdale ([[1575]]) and Windgyle ([[1585]]), mirroring an earlier Truce Day in the first decade of the 1500s.<ref>Fraser, George MacDonald.
