^{page 120 note 1} Lorica is the usual term for a mail shirt. When other forms of body armour are referred to, the specific vernacular words “jak, bregaunter, par de platis, bresteplate” are used.

^{page 121 note 1} Other Yorkshire examples of armour devised as mortuaries occur in the wills of Sir Gilbert de Ayton, 10th April 1350, ‘Item devise a William mon fitz la beneyson de Dieu et la moyne et mes armes et armurs, sauf mon atyre pour mortuarie, et une acketon que jeo ay done a Roger mon chambreleyn’; of Sir William Dronsfield, 1406, ‘In primis lego … corpus meum ad sepeliendum in ecclesia Omnium Sanctorum de Silkeston, cum meliori averio meo cum tota sequela pertinente ad hominem armatum nomine mortuarii mei’; of John Normanvile, 1408, ‘Item vicario ecclesiae predictae (B.M. de Tadcastre), nomine mortuarii mei, meum optimum equum cum cella et freno. Item eidem vicario unam loricam et j basenet. Item Thomae Normanvile filio meo j loricam, j bresteplate & j basenet’; of Sir Gerard de Usflete, 1420, ‘Item lego ecclesiae in quo sepultus fuero, unam par de bregaunters, cum tota reliqua armatura mea in qua fui armatus’; The corse-present of a later Sir Thomas Markenfield, d. 1497, contained no armour. In his will (Test. Ebor. IV, no. lxiii) he stated ‘I becuith to the church of Rypon my beste horse, with bridell, sadell and oder apparell, in the name of my mortuary corspresand’. His monument is also in the Cathedral.

On the other hand, the armour hung over the tomb was not disposable, but being part of the hatchment was vested in the heirs of the deceased. As Sir Edward Blackett's example shows, this custom continued for long after the mortuary or corse-present had been commuted by law for a money payment.
