Blood & roses : the Paston Family in the fifteenth century
The Wars of the Roses turned England upside down between the years of 1455 and 1485.

| 520 | |a The Wars of the Roses turned England upside down between the years of 1455 and 1485. Yet, as they navigated their disintegrating world, a Norfolk family called the Pastons were writing letters--about politics, business, shopping, love--and about each other. Extraordinarily, these letters have survived. Drawing on these remarkable letters, Castor has written an intimate and compelling family biography which traces the Pastons' story across three generations, exploring their experiences of birth, marriage and death, and the realities of their daily lives. The author unravels the politics of the family's affairs against the backdrop of civil war between York and Lancaster to produce a vivid evocation of the medieval world. | ||
