Gavelkind

Definition

An old English system of land inheritance where property was divided equally among all sons instead of going to just the eldest son.

Etymology

From 'gavel' (a payment or contribution) plus 'kind' (a type or manner). The term dates to medieval Kent, England, where this unique inheritance custom was practiced differently than in the rest of England.

Kelly Says

Gavelkind created wildly different family dynamics than primogeniture—instead of one rich heir and poor siblings, everyone got a share, which meant medieval Kentish families looked economically equal across generations.
