In 1464 Maud (Matilda) Courtenay made her last will and testament, her will set out her charitable bequests, while the testament detailed her funeral arrangements. Maud died three years later, and she was buried in the church of St Nicholas Priory, Exeter. These two documents tell us about her death and give some hints about her character, but her life is less well documented.

This talk by Dr Lynda Pidgeon will look at her death and attempt to throw some light on her life.
