La familia pirenaica: un estado de la cuestión

Abstract

The state of the question about Pyrenean family from a historical and legal perspective is analyzed. The most notable historiographical contributions since the nineteenth century to the present are reviewed, focusing on the romantic myths configured around the house, the lines of inheritance and the only heir, that have been dragging along the twentieth century and have been banishing by new directions of research made in recent decades. The article is a translation from the original French Castilian published in 2001 and republished in that language in 2011.
