“Prior to adoption of the Constitution, Andorra paid in odd-numbered years a tribute of approximately $460 to the French ruler, while on even-numbered years, it paid a tribute of approximately $12 to the Spanish bishop, plus six hams, six cheeses, and six live chickens. This medieval custom was subsequently abandoned in 1993.”
If I was the Bishop of Urgell before 1993, I would have been *so stoked* for my biennial tribute of cheeses and pet chickens.
only ‘90s kids will remember the biannual tribute from Andorra
