One of the oldest documents OF the
will kind known was that of Queen Aus.
trigilda, consort of King Goutram, of
Burgundy. The dying princess enjoined
upon her husband to STAY and bury in
the same grave with her the physicians
who had attended her. Another will
was that of husband who forbade his
wife's marrying on pain of his returning
to haunt her. This is quite different
from that of woman who instructed
her executors to seek out "some nice,
good, pretty GIRL" who would make an
affectionate second wife to her spouse.
