Abstract
Garante de la posición social y el prestigio, la consolidación del patrimonio era de vital
importancia para las familias de la élite, hasta el punto de que casi todas las decisiones
trascendentes estaban condicionadas por la necesidad de asegurarla a pesar de las particiones
hereditarias y de la legislación en contra. Para lograrlo, no dudaban en valerse de toda una
serie de mecanismos preestablecidos para evitar las particiones excesivas y al mismo tiempo
procurar su ampliación en la medida de lo posible, basadas casi todas en la exclusión.
As a guarantee of social status and prestige, the consolidation of heritage was of paramount importance to the families of the elite, to the point that nearly all transcendent decisions were conditioned by the need to secure it despite partitions and legislation against it. To achieve this, they did not hesitate to take advantage of a wide range of predetermined mechanisms, aiming to prevent excessive partitions, whilst they made efforts for its expansion. Most of these mechanisms were based on exclusion.
