It is nonesense to call Margraviate of Moravia a march (or marcher state). Moravia was maybe called margraviate (as was called also for instance Brandenburg), but Moravia NEVER EVER functioned march (i e highly militarized entity established in order to protect borders of some bigger state). Moravia began to be called margraviate several centuries after real marches were established, as for instance Brandenburg or Austria. And at the time when Margraviate of Moravia was established, these states (Brandenburg or Austria) ceased to function as marches long time ago. So at the time Moravia was established as margraviate, margrave was just another royal title without any implication, that his realm is any form of marcher state. So it doesnt give any sense to call Margraviate of Moravia a marcher state. It never functioned as march.

Finnmark / Finnmork?

[edit]

Hey, Finnmark should also be added as a historical march. The name Finnmark is much older than the modern day province, and might be even older than the medieval kingdom of Norway. It was called Finnmork. --77.222.163.148 (talk) 14:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
