La mujer vasca en la Edad Moderna: familia y propiedad

Abstract

In all the small valleys of the Pyrenean chain, the right of primogeniture prevailed in matters of succession, regardless of sex, except in Catalonia, where masculinity prevailed. In the northern Basque territories (currently known as Iparralde in Basque), the same absolute right was also exercised, although it underwent an evolution towards masculinising patterns.
