Latin - John Lucas

[BronwenS]

Kia ora

I am attaching a brief will for John Lucas that I assume is in Latin.  I will like to know any names mentioned in it at all and anything else - dates etc that may be helpful in 'marrying up'.

15 October, John Lucas of Comenor/Cumnor, Berks

To the wife of John Cogeyn a cloak that was my wife's
To son Henry household utensils
To my son all clothes that were my wife Christian's
Executors John Coventry and John Cogeyn
Proved before John Lyndefeld, commissary

[Bookbox]

To son Henry household utensils

I would read this as: ... to my son Henry and to his brothers all my household utensils.

Proved 20 February 1423 (presumably 1423/24).

True dat. I missed that.

Here is John Lucas in Common Pleas in 1422:

1422
Middx. William Hulles, prior of Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in England (Knights Hospitaller) versus Thomas Coventr', of Oxford, gentleman; Thomas Wylde, of Oxford, goldsmith; John Lucas, of Comnore, Berks, gent. Debt of 100 pounds from each of them.

One small suggestion: I think the date of probate was 29 (not 20) February 1423.

Agreed. So even more likely to be 1423/24.
