Bastardy was not a status, like villeinage, but the fact of being a bastard had a number of legal effects on an individual.One exception to the general principle that a bastard could not inherit occurred when the eldest son (who would otherwise be heir) was born a bastard but the second son was born after the parents were married.
In the eyes of the law, any child conceived by a couple that was not legally married was a bastard child.

In some regions of the South, "stare sul/in culo" is used as a variant of "stare sul cazzo," both indicating dislike for someone else.
