Unlock a window into 17th-century Gloucestershire land records Discover English-language abstracts of ancient Latin Inquisitiones post mortem that shed light on property, feudal duties, and family settlements. This volume presents the Chancery Inquisitions for the county, distilled to the essential details for readers and researchers.
These abstracts make the original documents accessible without legal jargon. They are compiled from the Chancery series, with needed references to transcripts, and are designed for genealogists and historians who want clear, usable information. The work includes introductions and context by editors and annotators, clarifying how the inquests worked and what they reveal about landholding, wards, and succession in early Stuart England.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contains 779 probate records of individuals who died during the first eleven years of the reign of King Charles I. They have been transcribed from records originally sent into the Court of Chancery in the form of Inquisitions Post Mortem. Together this collection offers precise details on the lives and landholdings of Gloucestershire's late gentry and aristocracy. These inquisitions, taken year by year, provide the names of heirs and widows, the locations and extents of manors and estates, the services by which they were held, and their values. The records also shed light on the operation of feudal law, and the rights and duties of both tenants-in-chief and their feudal overlords. They thus offer a fascinating window onto the social and economic history of Gloucestershire and England as a whole during the 17th century.
