Ultimogeniture , also known as postremogeniture or junior right , is the tradition of inheritance by the last born of the entirety of, or a privileged position in, a parent s wealth , Estate law estate or office. The tradition has been far rarer historically than primogeniture , inheritance by the first born. Ultimogeniture serves the circumstances where the youngest is keeping the hearth , taking care of the parents and continuing at home, whereas elder children have had time to succeed out in the world and provide for themselves or having received some of their share earlier, for example when marrying and founding an own family. Remembering the then usual low age at death, the system has been relatively impractical for impartible inheritance during past centuries. Ultimogeniture has been more suitable to officeholders and owners who have themselves been adults already for several decades such as monarchs who happen to be elderly and are leaving children who are more or less all mature adults. In medieval England , the principle of patrilineal ultimogeniture i.e. inheritance by the youngest surviving male child was known as Borough English . In 1327, a court case found it to be the tradition in the borough of Nottingham , whereas in areas influenced by Anglo Norman culture, primogeniture ... wealthy noble families with more manors than needed for each heir to have a place, the privilege of ultimogeniture ... apportioned by a modified version of ultimogeniture known as masshi souzoku .

Main Feudal land tenure At its origin in medieval England , copyhold Land tenure tenure was tenure of real property land according to the custom of the manor, the title deeds being a copy of the record of the manor court. The privileges granted to each tenant, and the exact services he was to render to his lord in return for them, were described in a book kept by the Steward, who gave a copy of the same to the tenant consequently these tenants were afterwards called copyholders in contrast to freeholders. ref Bland, W., ENCLOSURE OF COMMONS AND WASTE LANDS, FORMERLY IN THE TOWNSHIPS OF BELPER, DUFFIELD,HAZELWOOD, HEAGE, HOLBROOKE, TURNDITCH, AND ELSEWHERE IN THE OLD PARISH OF DUFFIELD http www.jjb.uk.com enclosure enclosure.htm five ref Two main kinds of copyhold tenure developed Copyhold of Inheritance and Copyhold for Lives. Copyhold of inheritance had one main tenant landholder who paid rent and undertook duties to the Lord. When they died, the holding normally passed to their next heir who might be the eldest son daughter primogeniture or youngest son daughter Borough English or ultimogeniture or a division between children partible inheritance , depending upon the custom of that particular manor. During their life the tenant could usually sell the holding to another person by formally surrendering it to the Lord to be regranted to them. This was recorded in the court roll and formed the new copyhold for the purchaser. Copyhold for Lives worked in a different way. Three named persons were nominated. The first named was the holder tenant and held for the duration of their life. The other two were said to be in reversion and remainder and effectively formed a queue. When the first life died, the second named inherited the property and nominated a new third life for the end of the new queue. These were recorded in the court rolls as the copyhold for this type of tenant. It was not usually possible for these holdings to be sold, as there were Pur autre vie three liv ... more details

His family occupied a large tract of land in the northwest corner of town, much of the acreage fronting the banks of the Nashua River. He would eventually become, through ultimogeniture , the largest landowner in Groton with an estate comprising well over convert 500 acre km2 .
