Between 1455 and 1485, during the conflict known as the Wars of the Roses, four kings lost their thrones; more than forty noblemen lost their lives either on the battlefield or on the block; and thousands of men who followed them met violent deaths. While all this was going on a Norfolk gentry family, the Pastons, were writing letters - about politics, business, love and each other. Following the turbulent politics of the family's affairs, relating them at every step to the unfolding drama of the Wars of the Roses, Blood and Roses brilliantly explores their experiences of birth, marriage, death, and the realities of daily life.
