 Even the lowly serf who belonged to the Counts of Palatinate-Veldenz (Lauterecken) had to pay their part in all of this.Out of the wine tithes, one third each had to go to the Count Palatine, the Meisenheim parish priest and Antoni Bos's widow, meaning a rich landholder's family.In an ordinary year, the wine tithe could be as much as 4 or 5 "Ohm" (an "Ohm" was usually something between 134 and 174.75 L).
