The Ninth house traditionally had owned the largest amount of land by far compared to the other houses.  Many of the other houses claim that they loaned some of their undeveloped land to the Ninth house centuries before first contact with the Federation, for the purposes of developing the land agriculturally - to the benefit of other houses and the Betazoid population in general.  However there is no record of this ever happening, and the Ninth house, specifically the Ukinix family (which had a reputation for being ruthless) denied this claim.
The Ninth house traditionally had owned the largest amount of land by far compared to the other houses.  In 2300, The [[Third House of Betazed|Third]], [[Fourth House of Betazed|Fourth]], [[Sixth House of Betazed|Sixth]], [[Seventh House of Betazed|Seventh]], [[Tenth House of Betazed|Tenth]] and [[Twelfth House of Betazed|Twelfth]] Houses of Betazed claim that they loaned some of their undeveloped land to the Ninth house centuries before first contact with the Federation, for the purposes of developing the land agriculturally - to the benefit of those houses and the Betazoid population in general.  However there is no record of this ever happening, and the Ninth house, specifically the Ukinix family (which had a reputation for being ruthless) denied this claim. It became a political issue between the houses, who demand "their" now agriculturally rich land back.
This did not stop several of the other houses demanding "their" now agriculturally rich land back.  At the turn of the 2300s, it became a political issue between the houses.  
   
   
Over the course of the 2330s, there were rumours the then Matriarch [[Kirilow Ukinix]] and her husband [[Alacem Ukinix]] tried to influence the opinion of other houses, and even attempt to take them over, by offering their daughters for arranged marriages with members of the other houses.  Record of this happening, however, is scant and has never been proven.  No female members of the Ukinix family ever married into other houses.
