单词	mosstrooper
释义	mosstrooper /ˈmɒstruːpə / noun A person who lived by plundering property in the Scottish Borders during the 17th century.The Union of the Crowns in 1603 largely brought about an end to such activities, though mosstroopers and horse thieves were still active in the borders throughout the seventeenth century.... The Borders were a very dangerous place at that time because of mosstroopers, who were basically little different from the rustlers of the Old West. However, lawlessness remained a problem, with bandits known as mosstroopers, very often former Royalist or Covenanter soldiers, plundering both the English troops and the civilian population.
