Paston letters are the correspondence of the Paston family, landowners in Norfolk, England, during the 1400’s. The letters are a rich source of information on the period from 1422 to 1509. They describe the Pastons’ troubles with feudal lords made more powerful by the unrest caused during the Wars of the Roses. The letters also give details of economic affairs and of domestic life among the wealthier English middle classes. James Gairdner edited The Paston Letters in 1904.
