    Here's a quick one.

    Borders between countries either follow geographical features like rivers and mountain ranges, or they are straight lines drawn on a map.

    This particular border is essentially straight lines on a map but it has a marked 'kink' around a particular geographical feature. An apocryphal story says that this is because one monarch gave this feature to another as a Christmas or birthday gift.

    (1) Who were the two monarchs?
    (2) What is the geographical feature?
    (3) What are the two countries the border separates?


    To avoid any confusion, I will consider this is solved by the person who provides the last piece of the answer not the person who provides most pieces.
