Theses de successione feudali

although a son may have possessed for some time after the father’s death a fief granted to males and females, the sister is nonetheless admitted.

LIIII.

Likewise, if a vassal leaves two daughters, one of whom has a son and the other a daughter, the son will succeed, and the female will be excluded.

But once excluded, she is not excluded perpetually; rather, there will eventually be a place for her, provided the males are lacking.

LVI.

For throughout this entire law, males are favored more than females, who are less suitable for performing those services for which fiefs are accustomed to be given.
