Throughout the later middle ages and beyond the Kings of England periodically issued general pardons covering a wide range of offences. So numerous were the resultant letters patent that their record was from an early date separated from the Chancery’s Patent roll, and compiled into a separate Pardon roll. This volume calendars the general pardons issued by Edward IV during his first reign from 1462 to 1467. The pardons provide interesting information on individuals of all ranks of society, their social status and places of residence, and offers, inter alia, fascinating evidence for the study of social and geographic mobility.

The Paston family papers have long been consulted for their infomation about social history and politics in the fiftenth century, both within East Anglia and also nationally. Parts I and II of Paston Letters and Papers of the Fifteenth Century, edited by Norman Davis, were originally published by the Clarendon Press in 1971 and 1976, and were reissued with corrections by EETS in 2004. Part III completes the edition. It contains the texts of 120 additional letters and papers, many of them relating to Sir John Fastolf and his circle. These texts are previously unprinted, or printed only in part; some only came to light after the publication of Parts I and II. The texts have been edited according to the principles established by Norman Davis, and are accompanied by an Introduction and Bibliography, as well as a consolidated index to all three parts of the edition, a glossary to the entire edition, a concordance of the principal editions and origal sources, and a working chronology of the documents.
