create a (Anglo-Am. hist.) fee tail male; (mod.) a strict settlement
I've never heard of a 'majorat' but maybe that's my fault.
'With respect, is Adrian barking up the wrong tree again?'
A fee tail is an interest in real property that is ordinarily created with words such as "to A and the heirs of his body." It may be limited in various ways, such as to male or female heirs only, or to children produced by a particular spouse.
STRICT SETTLEMENT. When lands are settled to the parent for life, and after his death to his first and other sons in tail, and trustees are interposed to preserve the contingent remainders, this is called a strict settlement.
