Englishry or, in Old French, Englescherie, is a legal name given, in medieval England, for the status of a person as an Englishman (i.e., as a commoner of native Anglo-Saxon stock rather than a member of the Anglo-Norman elite). Specifically, presentment of Englishry refers to the establishment that a person slain was an Englishman rather than a Norman.
