The collection of fifteenth-century letters printed here for the first time stands alongside the Paston and Stonor correspondence in its intrinsic interest and the light it sheds on contemporary gentry life. Edited from a recently discovered manuscript in Chethams Library, Manchester (Mun.E.6.10 (4)), the letters deal largely with the prolonged dispute over the Brokholes inheritance in Warwickshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex, and are concerned principally with the affairs of one of the claimants, Joan Armburgh, and her husband Robert. The material mostly derives from the period c.1420-50, one of growing unease in national politics, which the letters reflect; but they are more concerned with affairs closer to home, and provide fascinating insights on local politics, the networks of `bastard feudalism which bound the gentry to their lords and to each other, on the impact of lengthy litigation on a gentry family (especially its finances), and, more generally, on the management of their lands and business affairs. The startlingly vivid language of some of the less formal entries brings the writers strikingly to life.

Preface
My chief debt is to Dr Edward Powell, who not only provided notes for most of the technical legal terms (these are all marked (E.P.)) but, in reading through my typescript, saved me from several errors and omissions. I must also thank Dr Richard Davies for suggesting that Chetham's Library approach me after they had found this wonderful manuscript and for hospitality on my first exploratory visit, and the staff at the Library, especially Dr Michael Powell) for their help in all my dealings with them over the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Boydell & Brewer, especially Dr Richard Barber, for their alacrity in taking the manuscript when I found myself suddenly and unexpectedly without a publisher, and for considerable forbearance in not demanding more than some entirely reasonable changes to a text which had been completed for a different imprint. Finally, the fellow-scholars whose brains I picked while footnoting the manuscript are acknowledged at the points where their advice and information were decisive, but I must offer a more general thank you to Dr Benjamin Thompson for setting me on the right track initially with a host of queries relating to matters ecclesiastical.
Note that the general reference for writs discussed in notes by E.P. is Registrum Omnium Brevium Tam Originalium Quam Judicialium (London, 1687).
Where ambiguity may arise in the cross-referencing, footnote references are to be taken to refer to the text unless the cross-reference explicitly refers to 'Intro.'
