Inquisitions Post Mortem, Henry VII, Appendix I: 871-921

There are in the Public Record Office two series of Inquisitions “post mortem” for the reign of Henry VII,—the Chancery series and the Exchequer series. The Chancery series consists of original inquisitions taken by the escheators in pursuance of writs and commissions, or on their own initiative (virtute officii). The Exchequer series consists mainly of transcripts of the Chancery originals, but also contains a number of original virtute officii inquisitions similar to those in the Chancery series. On a comparison of the two series it has been found that a few of the Exchequer transcripts represent Chancery originals which are now missing, and that a considerable number of the virtute officii inquisitions in the Exchequer series are not paralleled in the Chancery series. As the calendar, so far, has been confined to the Chancery series, it is necessary, in order to make it a complete record of inquisitions “post mortem” taken during the reign of Henry VII, to add descriptions of all such supplementary transcripts and virtute officii inquisitions from the Exchequer series; and this is done in the following appendix.
