[edit] Catholic persecution in England
Apparently Catholics were not able to make a will during the period in which they suffered persectution, see: Butler v. Moore. Needs documenting here. Cutler 12:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge from Will (law)/International legal history
I already changed the title of this page so that it was no longer just a subpage, in accordance with Wikipedia policy. I think that all the content of both pages should be put together to give a cohesive overall view of the legal history of wills, rather than having it spread out across two pages. --Eastlaw 07:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - but do keep all the relevant content with crisp copyediting. I am always upset with editors who delete 1911 material rather than deal with it.Cutler 08:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Cutler, just FYI, I have no intention of deleting any useful information from either article. The 1911 Britannica contains a lot of valuable information, regardless of any historical or cultural biases it may have. Considering how much the law and the legal profession rely on custom and tradition, I think there is a wealth of good material here which can be readily salvaged and copyedited. Besides, I am something of an inclusionist, and I don't like to remove text when the article could be better served by good editing. Any assistance you could offer would be much appreciated. --Eastlaw 08:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
