Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich tapestry of history woven into the counties of Lancaster and Chester. Through a fascinating collection of inquisitions post mortem - official investigations into the estates of deceased individuals - the author unveils the lives, relationships, and landholdings of prominent families during the 15th century. The meticulous records, taken from the manuscripts of Christopher Towneley, offer a glimpse into the legal and social landscape of the era, revealing intricate genealogies, land transfers, and the intricacies of feudal inheritance. The reader is transported to a world of knights, esquires, and churchmen, where the ownership of land was a defining factor in social standing and power. The book illuminates the complex relationships between families, the impact of political events on local lives, and the influence of the Crown in shaping the region's destiny. This book provides a unique and invaluable source for anyone seeking to understand the history of these two counties and the lives of those who shaped them. It offers a window into a past where land ownership was a powerful force and where the lives of individuals were inextricably intertwined with the broader sweep of history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
