The Index Library Abstracts of Gloucestershire Inquisitiones Post Mortem Returned Into the Court of Chancery in the Reign of King Charles the First, Part I, II, and III

Three volumes in one handsomely bound book, containing parts I, II, and III of post mortem inquisitiones in the reign of King Charles I. A beautifully bound, three volume in one, set of Post Mortem Inquisitiones during the reign of King Charles I. This set is comprised of Part I, 1625-1636; Part II, 1637-1642; and Part III, A Miscellaneous Series. Edited by W.P.W. Phillimore (an English genealogist and publisher), George S. Fry, and Edw. Alexander Fry. Inquisitiones post mortem were concerned only with the property held "in chief" by the deceased, and were requisite in order to ascertain the feudal rights which accrued to the Crown upon the death of any tenant in chief. These three volumes cover the post mortem inquisitiones for deaths in the Gloucestershire area from 1625-1642, and were published in the late nineteenth-century by the British Record Society.
