The second and final volume of inquisitions for the reign of Henry
V. This volume of the Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem
completes the inquisitions for the reign of Henry V. The period
covers Henry's second invasion of France and his third and final
campaign there, brought to an end by his death at Vincennes in
1422. Inquisitions were taken after the deaths of several prominent
casualties of the wars, including several tenants in chief who held
lands in many counties. Of particular interest for tenurial and
economic historians, settlements of property are recited and most
estates minutely described and valued. Apart from the inquisitions
there are the usual analogous documents such as assignments of
dower and proofs of age and, in one instance, a partition of land
between coheirs. Women appear holding land not only as tenants in
chief but jointly with their husbands and as dowagers. Families
include Ros, Clifford, Fitzwaryn, Scrope, Arundel, Courtenay,
Dymmok, dela Pole. J.L. KIRBY and JANET H. STEVENSON are both
contributors to the New Dictionary of National Biography.
