“…In brief, political and economic developments, famine and epidemic events underlined the daily lives in medieval England, all against the backdrop of population expansion [30]. Urbanisation and prosperity, increasing between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries, were interrupted by the Black Death pandemic in the mid-fourteenth century [30,31]. The fourteenth century saw famine, heavy rains, and harsh winters reducing crop production, though market trade and industrial growth in towns continued expanding [32][33][34].…”

“…À un plus haut niveau, le discours propagandiste de certaines factions politiques pouvait délibérément mettre l'accent sur de tels concepts pour séduire les esprits, ce qui suggère que les esprits en question étaient déjà, au préalable, réceptifs aux messages diffusés. La propagande yorkiste a ainsi cherché à exploiter le sentiment de désarroi et de honte provoqué par la défaite en France, à l'exemple du manifeste diffusé par le Duc Richard d'York en 1452, pour défendre sa cause au nom de l'honneur national blessé 129 . Le Duc d'York était en effet bien conscient de la force politique qu'il pouvait retirer en se présentant comme le défenseur de l'intérêt collectif 130 .…”

“…For example, they bear witness to the financial negotiations that accompanied a marital union 6. However, the affectionate letters between Elizabeth and William Stonor remind us that medieval marriages of convenience need not be regarded as separate from affective unions; love could be ‘born from the womb of worldly goods’ 7. Thomas Betson’s letters to the twelve or thirteen-year-old daughter of Elizabeth Stonor, whom he eventually married, have attracted especial attention from social historians.…”

The modern and medieval meanings of words reporting ill health often bear little resemblance to one another. This article compares the use of 'diseased' and 'sick' in the fifteenth-century Stonor family letters. It examines the word 'crased', which implies physical ill health most directly, but also suggests emotional, psychological, or spiritual distress in female family members especially. The article then turns to the practical implications of poor health, asking how and why it affected the day-to-day concerns of the Stonors and their associates. It uncovers compelling evidence for resilience in the face of many and competing calls of duty. Finally, the article presents unique palaeographical evidence for the impact of illness, where a correspondent is so 'seke' that he can scarcely hold his pen.
