A quick definition of aisne:
AISNE is a word that means the same thing as EIGNE. It is an old word that was used in Law French. It has three different meanings depending on the context. First, it can describe a child who is the oldest or first-born. Second, it can describe a title that is superior or prior. Third, it can describe an estate that is entailed. The word can also be spelled as eygne or aisne and is sometimes called einetius in Law Latin.
A more thorough explanation:
AISNE: A term used in Law French to describe the eldest or first-born child, a superior or prior title, or an entailed estate.
- Bastard eigne: Refers to the eldest child born out of wedlock.
- Eigne title: Refers to a superior or prior title.
- Eigne estate: Refers to an entailed estate.
For example, if a family has three children, the first-born child would be referred to as the "aisne" or "eigne" child. In terms of titles, a "eigne title" would be a title that is superior or prior to other titles. An "eigne estate" would be an estate that is entailed, meaning it can only be passed down to certain heirs.
