Curious Wills and Quirky Bequests Across Troubled Times

A collection of odd bequests from history shows wills that constrain the living. An Irishman leaves £1000 to a religious house for his wife to spend life in prayer. A blunt farmer doubles a widow’s sum to avoid future remarriage. A German leaves property to six nephews and six nieces on a scheme that each nephew marries a woman named Antoine and each niece a man named Anton with marriages on St Anthony’s days. The tale ends with a note of mischief and mystery at the German Registrar-General’s office.
