1160: In Norman England a man could will his movables to his kin and friends but only the next heir could inherit his land paying the overlord for the privilege. When old William de Secqueville dies he has two heirs - one is his daughter Mabel, by a disolved marriage, and the other is his nephew Richard. Egged on by his wife Maud, Richard pursues a dogged course through the courts of the new King Henry to prove Mabel illegitimate.
