"This is a fascinating look into a period of history and social class not often given its due. We forget that ours is not the only period of social mobility. This book follows the fortunes of one family during the period of the War of the Roses using - get this - the family's own correspondence! The letters were considered unique and valuable when they were discovered in the 18th century and were preserved until the present day."
"Shows that squatters rights prevailed in fourteenth-fifteenth century England, despite the rise of the court system during the period. Powerful connections and lineage was more important than lawful purchase of property."
