Moss-trooper
Moss-troopers were brigands of the mid-17th century, who operated across the border country between Scotland and the northern English counties of Northumberland and Cumberland during the period of the English Commonwealth, until after the Restoration. Much like the earlier border reivers who had operated in the lawless region during the 16th century and were dealt with, moss-troopers do not have a clear genesis. They gradually evolved, or reemerged, from the long running sociopolitical milieu of the Border. Mention of them appears suddenly in historical records and gives the false impression that they appeared suddenly, but the first statute passed to deal with them, the Moss Troopers Act 1662 ( 14 Cha. 2. c. 22), notes the moss-troopers to have been a long-running problem. In the Scots language, "moss" refers to marsh, bog, or soft wet ground. With the 1662 act about to expire, the Cavalier Parliament passed the Moss Troopers Act 1666 ( 18 & 19 Cha. 2. c. 3).
