There was a huge upset in the tudor period, when Henry VIII introduced some new laws relating to inheritance. I know everything was in limbo for about four years, but can't remember the exact sequence.
Googling suggests that the statute of wills allowed you to leave land to whom you pleased but I know there was previous legislation that created the mess and I can't remember what it was.
OC, can you help on this?
