Second, in Poland acquisitions of all kinds created expectations of heritability right from the outset, that is, from the moment at which the recipients acquired the estates in question, and well before the moment of succession across two generations.

Yet, ever since Duke Henry's irritation at Bartholomew's imprudent failure to provide a part of an acquisition for his son, some of their contemporaries at least implicitly recognized a tension between alienability of acquisitions on the one hand, and, on the other, familial expectations of succession to them as a matter of course.
