Answer 2

Taille was the 'name of the direct tax' collected by the 'state' from the 'peasants' in the '18 century' France.

EXPLANATION:

This tax was imposed on the every household in the French country on the basis of their holding on land. The amount of taille tax was fixed by the 'King' from year to year.

In 1439, Taille has become permanent in 14 when the 'right to collect taxes' was granted to 'Charles VII' of France in support of a 'standing army' during the 'Hundred Years' War'.
