Kia ora

I think this is in Latin, but I can recognise some bits and bobs.... 

Any help appreciated, I have just put the first three sections here.

Bronwen, I think the extracts you have posted are from a different will.  Based on the text in the first attached pdf the will is that of one Sir William Langeford.

The Margaret de Courtenay will is on TNA here:

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D967682

I also managed to find it on Australian Ancestry under the name Margareta Corendy, indexed under a probate date of 1 April 1411.

Unfortunately the right will is all in Latin.  It would have been much easier to do the Langeford will.  It begins in Latin but is mostly English.

Oh dear, not sure how I managed to do that at all.  Many thanks, looks like the one that is correct is much shorter.   

thanks
