The author, Ana Zabalza Seguín, unravels how the single-heir system—a model of property transmission that shaped the social and economic organization of the region—came to be. It is an essential work for understanding the historical roots of the traditional family and its legacy in the configuration of modern society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the historical process that gave rise to the single-heir system in the rural setting of pre-Pyrenean Navarre. Through a rigorous documentary analysis, the author reconstructs how the institution of \"the house\"—understood as a patrimonial, social, and symbolic unit—consolidated between the 16th and 17th centuries. It addresses the transformation of family succession strategies, the role of kinship ties, and the influence of economic and legal factors in the formation of a model that prioritized the transmission of the entire estate to a single heir. The work offers a detailed view of the tensions, adaptations, and decisions that shaped family life in an era of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical evolution of the single-heir system in pre-Pyrenean Navarre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe institution of \"the house\" as the cornerstone of family and patrimonial organization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuccession strategies and asset transmission in the 16th and 17th centuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eKinship relations and their impact on rural social structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEconomic, legal, and cultural factors in the configuration of the traditional family model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and scholars of family and kinship.
