heredes

Tercius fuit Galfridus Dore cuius eciam heredes extincti sunt in eadem pestilencia.

Heirs are called sui heredes, that is, heirs of themselves or of their own property, as is explained by Gaius.

To return to Bracton, it must be understood that the description of assigns as quasi heredes is not accidental.

Ulpian in Dig., 38, 16, 1: suos heredes accipere debemus filios filias sive naturales sive adoptivos.
