The History Of The Law Of Primogeniture In England And Its Effect Upon Landed Property, written by Courtney Stanhope Kenny and published in 1878, is a detailed examination of the legal principle of primogeniture in England and its impact on the ownership and inheritance of land. Primogeniture is the practice of passing down inherited property to the eldest son, and Kenny explores the historical origins of this custom and how it evolved over time.The book covers the period from the Norman Conquest in 1066 up to the 19th century, tracing the development of primogeniture as a legal principle and its role in shaping the English landed gentry. Kenny discusses the various legal and social factors that contributed to the rise of primogeniture, including the feudal system, the growth of the aristocracy, and changes in inheritance law.The book also examines the effects of primogeniture on the distribution of wealth and power in England, and how it contributed to the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a small elite. Kenny explores the ways in which primogeniture was challenged and modified over time, including the introduction of entailment and other legal mechanisms designed to protect family estates.Overall, The History Of The Law Of Primogeniture In England And Its Effect Upon Landed Property provides a comprehensive overview of a key aspect of English legal and social history, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of primogeniture in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
