Consanguinea

The media jurisprudentia, i.e. the opinions of the jurisprudents, excluded altogether females descended through males except sisters so descended (consanguinea;).

Indenture between Henry de Grymshagh, son and heir of Adam de Grymshagh and Cecilia, daughter and one of the heirs of Henry de Clayton on the moors (1), and Henry de Rissheton and Margaret his wife and cousin (consanguinea), the other heir of Henry de Clayton (2), who agree to share the lands in Clayton and Huncotes thus.

If, in an action brought against a man and wife, it be pleaded that the consanguinea is in fact the wife named in the writ, the demandant will not be allowed to aver that the consanguinea is dead, but must say that the tenant is a different person, and assign a diversity of father and mother.
