Singles in the middle ages
Around 1000 A.D. taxes were still payable in goods, though there was money, too. Mostly thin silver coins cut out from hammered silver sheets. These coins were called "denar" like the roman silver coins.At this time there was an important monastery in Lorsch with much real estate and income from the peasants.
Taxes on farms were for example: a pig and a sheep annually, a horse and a certain amount of wine or an ox, eggs and a few denars.
Every peasant had to plow about two acres of dominion land three times a year and had to work three days of the week for the landlord.
Every single man or woman had to pay 369 denars tax annually for being single.
Denar from Schwäbisch Hall, a city producing salt in the middle ages
