Reference please? I believe I was taught in school that it was one third, still lower than our total tax burden but a lot more than 10%. Of course it might be a little difficult to calculate the actual figure if we bear in mind that the serf received a house to live in as part of his share, whereas we have to pay enormous sums for a house and then pay property taxes to the master so that we can live in it.
