The Vale of the White Horse, named after the [[White Horse of Uffington]], is an area on the borders of [[Berkshire]] and [[Oxfordshire]]. The dispute has been rumbling ever since the partition of [[Mercia]] by the [[Vikings]] in the 9th century, and during the [[English Civil War]] in the 17th century the Royalist forces of the county of Oxfordshire seized the area from the Parliamentarian forces of Berkshire. With the beheading of [[Charles I]] the area was returned to Berkshire, but border disputes continued to flair up until eventually in 1974 the government transfered the area to Oxfordshire.
