Cullagium
text:
The cullagium was a tax first imposed in England and France around the pontificate of Urban II and thereafter as part of a drive towards clerical celibacy. It was a tax levied by the state on mistresses kept by clergymen. This was ostensibly to discourage the keeping of such mistresses, a practice officially condemned by both Church and state, but became a convenient source of revenue to the latter.
