Legal Definitions - natale

Natale is a historical term that refers to a person's status at birth. This means that the social class or position a person is born into is determined by their parents' social class or position. For example, if a child is born to serf parents, they will also be considered a serf. On the other hand, if a child is born to free parents, they will be considered free as well.

• If a king has a child, the child will be born into royalty and will have a high social status from birth.
• If a farmer has a child, the child will be born into a lower social class and will have to work hard to improve their status.

These examples illustrate how a person's social status at birth is determined by their parents' social status. It shows that a person's opportunities and privileges in life are often determined by factors outside of their control, such as their family background.
