- [Our Portrayals](https://pastonproject.com/our-portrayals/): Our Portrayals Portrayal Levels: We will aim to portray 4 levels of English society in our portrayals. The unit standards are written with these different social stations in mind. Keep in mind that social station will differ not just between families but within them: John II Paston was a titled knight, while his brother was not (as of 1469-1475).

The portrayal levels of different members will be agreed upon by group consensus. Upper Gentry/Knightly Class […]

Established in the summer of 2020, the Paston Project was started by a group of living historians with an interest in 15th century English history. The group expressed interest in recreating a family that had left behind sufficient primary source […]

A genteel family from Norfolk, England, they participated in what would later be called the Wars of the Roses, but they also became embroiled in local politics, especially related to their family’s questionable ancestry. It’s this latter conflict that defines the family history and, in particular, the events surrounding the family during the fifteenth century. Their story began, however, with a plowman from East Anglia named Clement Paston. Not much is known about Clement Paston, and even what survives is dubious. It seems […]
