Description
1663 1ed English LAW History Gavelkind Silas Taylor England Inheritance Britain



Silas Taylor was a 17th-century English historian and soldier who, curiously, published a book on English law and gavelkind. ‘The History of Gavelkind’ was one of the earliest and best sources on English systems of land tenure, inheritance law, and settlement law. Taylor discusses the development of gavelkind and how its use in England and Wales was derived from the conquests of Rome, Saxons, and Normans in Great Britain.
