About this title

Synopsis

""Abstracts of Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Part 1, Henry VII to Elizabeth, 1485-1561: Relating to the City of London, Returned into the Court of Chancery"" is a historical book written by George S. Fry and published in 1896. The book contains abstracts of inquisitiones post mortem, which were legal documents used in medieval England to determine the ownership of land and property after the death of a tenant-in-chief. This particular collection of abstracts covers the period from the reign of Henry VII to Elizabeth I, specifically from 1485 to 1561, and focuses on the City of London. The abstracts were returned into the Court of Chancery, which was responsible for hearing equity cases in England. The book provides valuable insight into the ownership of land and property in medieval England, as well as the legal proceedings surrounding inheritance and succession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
