Terrible times for people during the War of the Roses. Much social upheaval and economic insecurity. Illuminating.

Things were quite dicey in 15th century England and the Paston women were strong and courageous. Reminder that life is never simple or easy no matter what century or circumstance you are born to.

Interesting to me how hard it was to keep control over one’s assets including manors and estates. I never realized that before. Deaths were often opportunities for enemies to swarm in and make spurious claims and take possession of estates.
