Banalités were essentially the dues that were owed to
France during the
18th century. These included the required use-for-payment of the lord's, or Seigneur's,
mill to grind
grain and his
oven to bake bread. The Seigneur could also require a certain number of days each year of the peasant's
forced labor. This practice of forced labor was called the
corvée.
