- Summary:
- Inquisitions Post Mortem (also known as escheats) are an important category of records for historians and genealogists. They consist of inquests taken after the death of a tenant-in-chief of the crown to establish which lands were held by the tenant, and who should succeed to them as heir. They are therefore a key record of landownership and genealogy. TannerRitchie is republishing these key sources, both for England as a whole, and with the Abstracts published from London in the 16th century.
