This book presents a collection of abstracts from inquisitiones post mortem, fascinating legal records that provide genealogical and topographical insights into London during the reign of King Henry VII. From 1485 to 1509, these inquisitions document property ownership, feudal obligations, and family lineage of individuals who died holding land from the Crown. The inquests offer a rare glimpse into the lives and possessions of London's medieval inhabitants and reveal the intricate social and economic landscape of the city at that time.
