Pig interest
When pigs interest is a tax which the Thuringians after their defeat 531 against the franc at the King sons I. Clotaire and Theodoric I. was imposed. Since that time, the Thuringians had to deliver 500 pigs a year to the Franconian rulers and their successors. Only when the Bavarian Liudolfinger Heinrich II came to power in 1002 and the homage paid to the Kirchberg near Jena by the Thuringian greats, above all Count Wilhelm II of Weimar , was this tax waived. But also elsewhere - in the example, the bishop of Verona was favored - pig interest was charged, which was then repealed in 1058.
