What Was The Role of David Herold

[Susan Higginbotham]

There is another questionable thing about Kauffman's book and Herold. Kauffman writes (p. 426 n.39) that in his will, Herold's father directed that "under no circumstances shall the duty of settling my estate devole upon my son David."

The will, however, says nothing of the sort. It simply names Herold's mother as executor, without any references to Herold at all.
