The private lives behind the politics of civil war
A wealth of documentation survives from medieval England; legal and governmental records, financial accounts, property deeds, and works of literature.
But it鈥檚 the personal correspondences that have survived from the 15th century that tell the stories behind the public records.
Against the background of civil war, a Norfolk family called the Pastons wrote more than 1000 letters over a period of seventy years. Helen Castor re-tells their tale in her new book Blood & Roses.
