That portion of lands or tenements which the wife hath for term of her life of the lands or tenements of her husband after his decease, for the sustenance of herself and the nurture and education of her children. (Coke.) Where a man was seised of land for an estate of inheritance (otherwise than as joint tenant), and died leaving a widow, she was entitled to hold the third part of such land and tenements as were her husband’s at any time during the coverture, as tenant in dower for the term of her life.
