The basis of the arrangement was the unwritten (at the time) principle of primogeniture in French law: in the absence of written instructions to the contrary, the king's eldest son automatically became regent during the kin ...

History Of The Basque People
The Basques () are an indigenous ethno-linguistic group mainly inhabiting the Basque Country (adjacent areas of Spain and France). Their history is therefore interconnected with Spanish and French history and also with the history of many other past and present countries, particularly in Europe and the Americas, where a large number of their descendants keep attached to their roots, clustering around Basque clubs which are centers for Basque people. Origins First historical references The Hand of Irulegi, a 2,200 years old (1st century BC) bronze hand silhouette was unearthed in June 2021 from a Navarrese Lakidain hillside and is the oldest Basconic text to date. Basconic scripts appears to reflect Celtiberian regional influence, with archaeo-linguists able to identify the Basque sound "''SORIONEKU''" (Modern Basque: ''Zorioneko;'' English: ''blessed, fortunate, lucky'') among other words. This evidence suggests that the Vasconic substrate predates the timeline previou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
