Strongly desired, the bourgeoisie of Lyon guaranteed an full exemption of the taille, a royal tax over rural properties, as well as the right of selling wine free of duties in urban wine-shops. These privileges could be obtained either by beeing born in Lyon, either by giving proofs of a long residentship inside the town. Defrauders used a lot of stratagems. Some of them were committing bribery, had fictive residences or produced forgeries. Others followed strategies aiming to transfer patrimony towards a young migrant intentionally sent in Lyon. Even members of the nobility were asking for a favour in view of becoming bourgeois.Downloads
