Death Date for Elizabeth Wingfield

Legg inn av Robert Forrest » 06 mai 2007 17:24:39

CP 12(1):454, Suffolk, footnote (c) tells us Elizabeth Wingfield, widow of
Sir William Brandon, died 28 Apr 1497, and her will of 1496 was proved 8 May
1497. George Moriarty, in his article, "The Brandons", NEHGR 103:103+
(1949), agrees with the date the will was proved, and summarizes Elizabeth's
will, citing Testa. Vetusta, Vol. II, p. 432.

Moriarty goes on:
"The Inq. Post Mortem of Elizabeth, late wife of Sir William Brandon. Writ
of _diem clausit extremum_ issued 11 Apr 12 Henry VII (1497). By her will
she devised lands...Elizabeth died 28 April 12 Henry VII (1496/7)."

Can a writ of _diem clausit extremum_ be issued *before* the death of the
person concerned, or is the 11 April date incorrect?

I wouldn't have thought so (unless reports of a death were
"exagerated" but only slightly so). It would seem either the 11 April
date is incorrect, or that of 28 April; the former seems more likely.
