Excerpt from Frederick Pollock & Frederic W. Maitland’s The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I:
“[T]here is the closest possible affinity between the Mort d’Ancestor & the action of Cosinage. If l claim the seisin of my uncle, l use the one; if l claim the seisin of a first cousin, I use the other. But procedurally, the two stand far apart.”
