Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating medieval manuscript offers a rare glimpse into the lives and affairs of the Paston family of Norfolk during the 15th century. It contains nearly 1,000 surviving letters and documents, the majority of which are addressed to or from members of the Paston households of Paston and Caister. They were primarily written by three generations of the family: the patriarch, William the elder, his son John, and his grandson John. Together, these documents provide a remarkable social and political record of the period. They cover topics as diverse as the conduct of the Hundred Years' War in France; the family's piety and relations with the local church; and the day-to-day life of the family's estates and manors. This remarkable collection of letters offers a vivid tapestry of daily life, concerns, and scandals of a prominent English family during the late medieval era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331233374_0
