Author Description

Excerpt from Abstracts of Gloucestershire Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Returned Into the Court of Chancery in the Reign of King Charles the First, Vol. 2: 12-18, Charles I., 1637-1642 There is, however, another series, known as the 'miscellaneous' Chancery Series, which relates to Inquisitions taken in the reigns of Elizabeth, James I, and Charles I, of which latter reign there are 134 relating to Gloucestershire. It is proposed to include these in a third volume, but as a list will no doubt be useful to those interested in the history and genealogy of the county, it has been thought desirable to insert it here, so that with the names given in the Table of Contents of the two volumes already published, Subscribers will have a complete Calendar of these documents for the whole of that portion of the reign of King Charles I during which Inquisitiones post mortem were taken. As is well known, these Inquisitions came to an end in 1642. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
