Abstract

The Mobility of the English Gentry in the Letters of the Paston Family from Norfolk (15th Century)

Medieval physical mobility is a field of research of persistent relevance. The sources, however, often lack information allowing to approach questions related to day-to-day exchanges among social groups not belonging to the ruling elites and the high clergy. The Paston-letters represent the most extensive medieval collection of English private letters comprising over one thousand epistles written by the Norfolk family Paston and their environment. They contain a wealth of information related to everyday mobility. In just two generations, the Pastons had risen from small landowners to one of the most influential families in East Anglia. The administration of the family’s increasingly disparate country estates in Norfolk required regular presence in different locations. In addition to the duties in Norfolk, the Pastons had obligations in London and to the Duke of Norfolk, which involved increasing mobility from the family. During the absence of their husbands or sons, the Paston women took over the administrative tasks arising on the estates. This mobility and the resulting spatial distance between the individual family members resulted in a lively correspondence that still bears witness to the family’s mobility and that of their close surroundings. This study is the first to use the Paston-letters to survey the various facets of this mobility related to the English gentry and to assess the role and significance of these exchanges within this social group.
