I lived in a country where that happened. The king gave land to peasants in return for serving in WW2 (which lead to desperate peasants who didn’t know how to use their rifles as more than clubs scaring the Germans away with their savagery). My wife’s great-great-grandfather (or maybe one more great-) got so much land that when the communists came and started arresting people for having too much wealth he split his land among his 6 sons, but they still ended up with too much and all 6 went to jail.
