Duncan Lunan | The Green Children Of Woolpit, Medieval Abductions, & Elite Families
Inquisitio, Land of St Martin, Bishop of London
The interrogation of the children followed formal Latin legal procedures known as an inquisitio, typically conducted by a bishop. When the children claimed to be from the "Land of St Martin," Lunan identifies this as a reference to the Essex property of the Church of St Martin's Le Grand, which was under the Bishop of London's jurisdiction. This suggests the children's testimony was carefully managed by church authorities to obscure their true origins.
