“…Previous study of the peasant society of the Pyrenean Baronies, following stem-family rules, has shown how such a system, despite being deeply conservative, could face uncommon demographic growth and still not repudiate the main features of its ancestral traditions (Fauve-Chamoux, 1984a, 1984b. In western Europe, stem-family societies may be considered as depositaries for the Malthusian preventive checks and for social control.…”

“…Succession was secured by marriage, remarriage, adoption, or the rapid choice of a new heir from among the closest kin. The coresidence of successive generations of heirs was a normal situation, both in the Pyrenees and in northeastern Japan (Hayami, 2001), but any family course endures such a complex combination of demographic events that the coresidence structure undergoes permanent changes (Fauve-Chamoux, 1984a, 1984b. Actually, the Pyrenean stem-family model is similar to the central Japanese model (Nishijo) described by Hayami (1983), but it is even closer to the northeastern Japanese model as seen in Shimomoriya, Niita (Nihonmatsu domain) and Aizu domain (Okada, 2001), where 60% of households had extended or multiple families (Table 1).…”

The stem-family system tells us much about the mechanisms controlling reproduction in rural areas and the important role women played as mothers, heiresses, or in other roles. In this article, two stem-family rural societies are compared, one located in the central Pyrenees in Europe (Esparros), the other in northeastern Japan (Aizu domain and Nihonmatsu domain). Both are in mountainous areas. Particular attention is paid to the role of adopted sons and sons-in-law in family transmission processes. D

“…The life-course evolution of the household unfolded with the aging parents dying and the non-inheriting siblings departing. The young couple gradually took over the responsibilities of the house alone as simple families, until the next generation heir or heiress married with his or her spouse moved into the house (Berkner, 1972;Le Roy Ladurie, 1972;Fauve-Chamoux, 1984;Arrizabalaga, 1997a). Did heirs' or heiresses' spouses enjoy the same rights within the family house?…”

Basque customs in the Old Regime dictated the traditional succession rules of aînesse intégrale, which entitled the first-born male or female child to inherit all family assets (house and land) upon marriage. He or she was then to cohabit with the parents as a stem family, thus securing the transition and continuity of the house. With the implementation of the Civil Code in the 19th century, these ancient succession practices were abolished, forcing families to partition their assets equally among their children. Family reconstitution, succession records, and land registers of the 19th century indicate that, despite the new law, Basque families circumvented the law to transmit their property to one child, thus avoiding partitioning and securing continuity of the house. To perpetuate their ancient succession practices, families elaborated new strategies, showing flexibility toward traditional practices (especially aînesse intégrale) and making concessions to the heir or heiress, spouse, and siblings. They adapted the customs to the new law while maintaining the most essential prerogatives of ancient family traditions (single inheritance) for the survival of the bhouse systemQ. D

Resumen. La cuestión de la herencia y su papel en el proceso de reproducción social y en la redefinición de las estructuras agrarias ha dado lugar a numerosos debates y trabajos en Francia. Si en un principio dicha cuestión se abordó gracias al estudio de las normas jurídicas, ahora se hace en cambio a partir de la realidad de las prácticas sucesorias, las cuales son examinadas y discutidas por los historiadores. Este trabajo trata de arrojar luz no solo sobre la diversidad de las formas de transmisión hereditaria que hubo en la Francia rural, sino también sobre las lógicas y las estrategias que subyacían tras las elecciones sucesorias que realizaban las familias. Conforme a ello, cuestiona los tópicos que los estudiosos de primera hora crearon sobre las familias que emplearon la partición igualitaria. Se acerca también a las reacciones de las distintas sociedades rurales frente a la ruptura con el pasado que supuso el desarrollo de la Revolución Francesa, y a las resistencias y estrategias hereditarias que éstas desarrollaron frente a la introducción del Código Civil. Constata así la enorme continuidad y plasticidad de las prácticas sucesorias en el tiempo; una plasticidad que demuestra que las familias fueron capaces de adaptar sus lógicas sucesorias a las cambiantes realidades socioeconómicas.Palabras clave: Prácticas hereditarias, estrategias familiares, propiedad, consuetudinario, Código Civil.AbstRAct. Inheritance and its role in the process of social reproduction and the redefinition of agrarian structures has long been a subject of research and debate in France. Though it has traditionally long rested on the study of legal norms, historians have now begun to examine and write about how inheritance is managed.
