Title: Herbert Forde 1552 of Sellindge - latin act
Post by: David Boulding on Sunday 05 January 25 14:46 GMT (UK)
Probably a very easy one for experienced basic latin readers

There is a name twice struck out (Alycia I think) and replaced with what looks like "defuncta"? Is that correct?

Do I guess that Alice would have benefitted from the Act but she died?

Are the other names Ricus Redge & Ricus Pole yeomen those that inherited or those who provided evidence?

In the next line it looks like it has been replaced with Agneta, and probably in the the first instance as well.

Thanks...  I pondered over that for a long while. I guessed someone would know immediately.

In the meantime very best wishes for 2025. I very much appreciate all the help you have given me over the past year

Neither. They are bondsmen, promising (along with Agnes, and against a penalty of 100 marks) that the estate would be administered in accordance with the law for intestacy.
