This is the considerably easier process of granting to an alien by ''letters patent'' some of the privileges of naturalization, for example allowing the buying and devising (bequeathing in a will) of land, which aliens could not do. However, a denizen could not inherit land, nor could any of his children born before denization. Neither could he hold any office of trust or receive grants of land from the crown. The original records are at the PRO from about 1400 to 1844 in series C 66 and 67. The indexes to the records of these two processes have been published by the Huguenot Society (Page, and Shaw) and are on microfilm: | This is the considerably easier process of granting to an alien by ''letters patent'' some of the privileges of naturalization, for example allowing the buying and devising (bequeathing in a will) of land, which aliens could not do.
