Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents 134 translated inquests from the English Chancery relating to the deaths of tenants-in-chief, or landowners who held land directly from the king. These inquests, known as Inquisitions Post Mortem, were held under royal orders after the death of a tenant-in-chief to assess the value of their land and other property, and to determine the heir who would inherit it and pay feudal dues to the Crown. The inquests provide fascinating glimpses into the lives and deaths of a diverse cross-section of the English aristocracy and landed gentry during the reign of King Edward III (1327-1377). From aristocratic landowners with vast estates and numerous manorial holdings to lesser landowners whose wealth was tied up in a single manor, these inquests offer an unparalleled insight into medieval inheritance laws, land tenure, wealth distribution, and social structure. The author has meticulously transcribed and translated these inquests, which were previously only available in their original Latin, making them accessible to a wide range of readers, including scholars, historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in medieval English history. Through these inquests, the author not only illuminates the lives of individuals but also sheds light on the broader social, economic, and political realities of medieval England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331888925_0
