How Figure that came to be known as "King's Fifth" Was Determined

[edit]

While the book title refers to the percent the Spanish crown took, I am wondering what the history is behind that particular figure - why not 15% or 25%? I ask for Genesis 47:26 (KJV) records how Joseph established a law that the Pharaoh was to get a fifth of the harvest, except for priestly lands. The en:Quinto_Real talk page implies the 20% was used by in some fashion by Portugal. I'm curious as to any possible connections? Dan Aquinas (talk) 05:17, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
