Answer:

Latin for "first born." Feudal England (and many other places) practiced male primogeniture, the practice of giving the oldest son the entire estate of his parents (or nearest ancestor). If there was no male heir, the daughters inherited the property in equal shares.

\cyan{\bold{Answer:}

  • The state of being the firstborn child. Example =>Maui and Tahaki are famous mythological heroes in Polynesia and they have more powerful manas than their elder brothers, though they are not the primogenitures.
  • The right of succession belonging to the firstborn child, especially the feudal rule by which the whole real estate of an intestate passed to the eldest son.
  • Example =>Inheritance customs stress the right of primogeniture, which gives preference to the oldest brother.
