Uncover Worcester’s medieval landscape through the Inquisitiones post mortem — a meticulous 13th‑century land history edited for modern readers.

This volume presents the early Worcestershire inquests that tracked landownership, heirship, and crown rights at the death of great landowners. Part I covers 1242 to the end of the 13th century, compiling 69 inquiries that illuminate how families like the Stutevills, Clares, Tatlings, Someries, Mortimers, Corbets, Beauchamps, and others held property and rendered service. The pages reveal the workings of feudal law, the king’s rights, and the practical details of estates, manors, and rents, with notes on notable local places and trades.

What you’ll experience

A window into medieval Worcestershire through primary inquest records and the juries that valued every estate, acre, and duty.
Insight into how land passed, who inherited it, and how guardianship worked when heirs were underage.
Examples of how crown rights shaped local history, including discussions of royal forests, salt pits, and inquests related to mortmain and enclosures.
Context about influential families and their ties to the county’s geography, from Malvern and Worcester to Dudley’s iron and coal trade.

Ideal for readers of local history, genealogy, and medieval England, this edition makes a dense archival core accessible and engaging.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of medieval land ownership in Worcestershire, England. The author meticulously examines the "Inquisitions post mortem" - official records detailing the estates of deceased landowners compiled between the 13th and 17th centuries. These records, often referred to as "Inquests," were created to ensure the King's rights as feudal lord were respected, and to identify rightful heirs and determine the value of estates. Through detailed analysis of these records, the author paints a vibrant picture of medieval society. We meet powerful families like the Stutevills, Clares, Tatlingtons, Someries, Mortimers, and Corbets, discovering how they acquired their lands, the services they expected from their tenants, and the customs that governed their lives. The book also explores the economic landscape of the time, providing insights into the iron and coal trade at Dudley, the importance of salt production at Droitwich, and the role of forests in the local economy. By revealing the intricate details of landownership and the relationships between landowners and their tenants, the author offers a captivating window into the daily lives, customs, and economic realities of medieval Worcestershire. This book provides invaluable insights for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of power, wealth, and society during this pivotal period in English history.
