[The guardian by nature] derived from the "natural tie" of parent and child but was limited in scope to the heir alone. The guardian by nature was first the father and only upon his death the mother. A father was not guardian by nature to daughters, younger sons, or other nonpropertied children because they could not inherit from him. 3, record 2, English, - guardian%20by%20nature
