Organizing this practice was the original purpose of units called généralité created during the 14th century. According to Mark Kurlansky, women were often hired to avoid one form of this practice as prestigious faux-sauniers (“foh sohn-yay”) who often became folk heroes. Six-year contracts outsourcing this practice could be purchased by anyone with money to become one of the “farmers general.” Six edicts imposing this practice were the immediate cause of the Fronde revolt. As Superintendent, the Duke of Sully introduced a form of this practice tied to officials called the paulette, though nobles were traditionally exempt from this practice. For 10 points, name this practice, whose forms like the taille (10[1])(“tye”) regarding land and the gabelle regarding salt were undertaken (10[2])to support the French monarchy. ■END■
