Abstract

Under the Ancien Régime, the production and dissemination of legal documents in general, and legal pleadings in particular, was overwhelming during the litigation of cases concerning the tenure, ownership and administration of entailed estates. This article studies the process of preparing these allegations, in which the houses mobilized all their economic and social capital, since in these lawsuits an important patrimony was at stake, as well as the prestige and reputation of the lineage. It also analyzes the different discursive strategies used by men and women when defending their interests.
