Specialty Definition: Taille

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The taille was a direct land tax on the French peasantry (since the nobles refused to pay taxes). It was determined by the French kings from year to year after the Estates General was suspended in 1484. The taille became a major source of royal income and provided for the growing cost of warfare in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
