Sir John Paston (before 15 April 1442 – November 1479) was the eldest son of John Paston and Margaret Mautby. He succeeded his father in 1466 and spent a considerable part of his life attempting to make good his father’s claim to the lands of Margaret Mautby’s kinsman Sir John Fastolf. A number of his letters survive among the Paston Letters a rich source of historical information for the lives of the English gentry of the period.
