Chivage

/ˈtʃɪvɪdʒ/ noun

Definition

A rent or tax paid by a tenant to a landlord, particularly in medieval England; sometimes spelled 'chevage.'

Etymology

From Old French 'chevage,' from 'chief' meaning 'head,' because it was originally a tax paid per head or person, often called a poll tax or head tax.

Kelly Says

Chivage reveals how taxes were once personal—'head' taxes meant the ruler literally counted people and charged them individually, a terrifying form of power that inspired medieval rebellions.
