Explore how Inquisitions Post Mortem can shed light on the lives and family networks of medieval women through legal records and land inheritance.
Rhiannon Lloyd is a genealogist and family historian based in Somerset, England. She specializes in research for the South West counties of Somerset, Dorset and Devon.
Her passion is in Medieval genealogy and her MSc Dissertation with the University of Strathclyde focused on how Inquisitions Post Mortem can aid research into Somerset Medieval women (1475-1500). Palaeography is also a passion and there is nothing more than Rhiannon likes to do than puzzle out the text of old documents.
Previously, Rhiannon worked as a musician (gaining her BMus and MA from Cardiff University), but now she combines private client work with Teaching Fellow duties at the University of Strathclyde on their PG Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies course.
