Right of the bishopric of Tournai on beer. Originally this tax was paid in kind. The Chapter collector went to the brewers' house to collect it. Later it was agreed that the brewers themselves would transport to the Chapter the amount due to be paid to them in kind. From 1286 onwards, brewers were allowed to keep all the benefits in exchange for the payment of an annual tax. The bishop of Tournai receiving the tithe of beer granted by King Chilperic. Engraving after a stained glass of the Cathedral Notre Dame of Tournai, 15th century. ""Moeurs, usages et costumes au moyen-age et a l'epoque de la Renaissance"", by Paul Lacroix. Paris, 1878.
