Actually, the French law is inheritance by first born male only. English law is male and female can both inherit the title, the title can be passed on from the mother's side too.
Reason 1: There tend to be more female children born due to high protein diet (lots of steak and pork) of aristocrats?
Reason 2: Women used to put white make up which contains lead, so slowly cause lead poisoning. Some even eat small amount of arsenic so they look pale.
Reason 3: The high infant death rate and the high risk of child birth makes extending the family line difficult.
