"The letters and memoranda published in this volume form the only surviving letter-book of Henry, Lord Stafford, the son and heir of Edward, duke of Buckingham (d. 1521). Dating to 1546-7, the book contains copies of over 250 items, with all but a handful dictated by Stafford or written in his name. Penned at his ancestral home of Stafford castle, the letters offer important insights into the daily life of the mid-Tudor nobility" -- Publisher's description.
