Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the County of Brecknock, Vol. 2: Containing the Chorography, General History, Religion, Laws, Customs, Manners, Language, System of Agriculture, Antiquities, Sepulchral Monuments and Inscriptions
It has already been observed that gavelkind implied an equal distribution of property among the male children of a family; but it is remarkable that in the British as well as the Irish usages, in such partition, no distinction appears to have been made between legitimate and illegitimate children, but the progeny of a wife, and concubine, took equal shares, and so strong was the connec tion subsisting between the foster father and son that it was especially provided by law that if a villain should take the son of a Baron to be fostered with the Baron's consent, such child should be participator of the estate of the villain equally with his own sons.
