Synopsis

This book presents an in-depth look at the inquisitiones post mortem or inquisitions taken after a person's death, recorded across counties in 13th-century England. These records capture fascinating details about medieval land ownership, inheritance, and social structures. By examining these firsthand accounts, this book reveals the administrative practices, tenurial relationships, and economic conditions during this period. The records themselves were used for various purposes, including feudal incidents, wardship and marriage, and taxation, thereby providing a glimpse into the complex legal and social landscape of the time. Through these inquisitions, readers gain insights into how medieval society functioned, the distribution of wealth and power, and the daily lives of people in 13th-century England.
