Description
The Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem is a 20-volume collection of documents which detail, in the words of the documents’ 20th-century publisher JEES Sharp, “all inquisitions dealing with the hereditary descent of land, assignments of dower, proofs of age, lands of lunatics and the like.” The series includes volumes covering the years 1236-1447 and 1485-1509, with host website British History Online noting that the volumes covering 1447-1485 are currently unpublished. While the original documents, held by the National Archives, are in Latin, the published version contains only summaries in English.
