What is the meaning of the letter "S" instead of death records in Europe 1100-1300 AD?

At work on the genealogy family we found in some of the biggest records in 1100 – 1300 in the place to take the place of death is not only the letter "Y". Does anyone knows what it means? Thanks Wendy, I finally got a response from Germany, is a designation that are descendants of royality and burial in the family cemetery and because bodys lost in wars or were burned because of illness or lost at sea the body is not there, and the exact location of death is unknown.

Rights and / or nobility tended to keep better track of a family, because of inheritors. Moreover, the even poorer people rarely had surnames in this time, any property or securities dealing, and for the most part, I am conscious of surviving records of the church. I suggest that you need to define what we mean "Recording" .. 're talking about someone online research? In fact, this is not a "record", but it is his conclusion. Any actual record would be one that has created quite close to the actual event time. You can base its findings in the literature .. and these are also something that (or not) will be based on objective evidence. It seems very likely that the letter "Y" is something that has been entered by the person conducting the investigation, with its own meaning. In this framework of real time, it is highly unlikely that records exist to define the actual place of death.
