Engleschrie Act 1340

The Engleschrie Act 1340 ("14 Edw. III St. 1 c. 4") was an Act of Parliament passed by the Parliament of England. The Act abolished the law of Englishry, whereby when a dead body was found, unless it could be proven to be an English person, it was assumed to be a Norman and therefore the hundred was fined. If Englishry could be proved, the hundred was not fined.
