According to Mark Kurlansky, women were often hired to avoid one form of this practice (-5[1])as prestigious faux-sauniers (“foh sohn-yay”) who often became folk heroes. Six-year contracts outsourcing this practice (10[1])could be purchased by anyone with money to become one of (-5[1])the “farmers general.” Six edicts imposing this practice were the immediate cause of the Fronde revolt. As Superintendent, (10[1]-5[1])the Duke of Sully introduced a form of this practice tied to officials called the paulette, (10[1])though nobles were traditionally (-5[2])exempt from this (10[1])practice. (10[1]-5[2])For 10 points, name this practice, whose (-5[1])forms like the taille (10[2])(“tye”) regarding land (10[2])and the gabelle regarding salt (10[1])were undertaken (10[3])to support the French monarchy.
