Summary:

This publication, compiled under the direction of the Deputy Keeper of Records, provides a comprehensive calendar of inquisitions post mortem and related documents preserved in the Public Record Office during the reign of Henry VII. It details the legal and procedural processes following the death of individuals who held lands directly from the Crown. The text describes various writs such as 'diem clausit extremum,' 'mandamus,' and 'ad melius inquirendum,' which were issued to investigate landholdings, heirs, and other relevant matters. It also explores the role of escheators, juries, and Chancery officials in these inquiries. Intended for historians, legal researchers, and archivists, the work offers insight into medieval legal practices and the management of land tenure in England. Generated by AI.
