Dear Douglas Richardson, First, thanks for a magnificent job in compiling 'Magna Carta Ancestry'. Can you help with a query please? I am looking for the will of Ida de Clinton who died in office as Abbess of Wroxall Abbey in 1325. Your page 514 says she dies testate but I wonder if you could tell me what the source is please and where I might see the will if it still exists. Thank you Nicola Lowe

Thank you > > Nicola Lowe Douglas' source if hidden away among the footnotes at the bottom of the page: Trinity Term, 2 Edward III, 1328, Warwickshire. The executors of the will of Ida late the wife of John de Clynton, sued John Pecche the elder and John Murdak in a plea of debt. Court of Common Pleas: CP 40/274 25d. Index of Placita de Banco, Part II, Lists and Indexes, 32 (1910), 681. Since Ida had executors, she must have left a will, but it is very unlikely that it has survived. Regards, John
