This topic is an activity guide of AQA History Unit 2B: ‘The Role, Purpose, Content and Context of the Paston Letters’. However, it can be used for any exam board running the Wars of the Roses module.
It is an A* grade response to the task set in schools to research these letters and the people that wrote them. More on the Pastons is/will be available in the shop.
This topic is a classic case study of politics, motivations and consequences during the Wars of the Roses, which is why it is usually set as a homework task.
The issues discussed are:
Who are the people who wrote the Paston Letters?
Which king(s) or faction(s) did they support?
Are their outlooks on the events and situations they discuss to be trusted? (Quick answer- no. ALL sources have bias.)
This guide is FOURTEEN pages long and fully annotated/referenced, with further reading options and 'check yourself' questions at the end to aid understanding.
