InEngland was a newly conquered realm of William of Normandy, who was transforming the sleepy monarchy of the Anglo-Saxons into a powerful feudal state. A century and a half later, his great-great-great grandson, Henry III, issued a modified Magna Charta that served as the foundation of English common law, establishing the right of the English aristocracy against the king. In doing this, Bartlett adopts an analytical rather than narrative approach. Events are studied within the context of the broader patterns and developments of the era. This makes for a more challenging read but England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings: 1075-1225 a much more rewarding one, with insights contained on every page. Alan de Neville forester.

This was a period in which the ruling dynasty and military aristocracy were deeply enmeshed with the politics and culture of France. The book describes their conflicts and their preoccupations: the sense of honour, the role of violence, and the glitter of tournament, heraldry, and Arthurian romance. The author explores the mechanics of their government, and analyses the part played by the Church at a time of radical developments in religious life and organization. He investigates the role of ordinary men and women: the fundamental importance of the peasant economy, the growing urban andcommercial arenas; and also their outlook on the world, including their views on the past; on sexuality; on animals; on death, the undead and the occult. The result is a fascinating and complex account of a period which begins with conquest and ends in assimilation. No current Talk conversations about this book.

England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings, by Bartlett, Robert Taxation in medieval England was the system of raising money for royal and governmental expenses. During the Anglo-Saxon periodthe main forms of taxation were England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings: 1075-1225 taxes, although custom duties and fees to mint coins were also imposed. The most important tax of the late Anglo-Saxon period was the gelda land tax first regularly collected in to pay for mercenaries. After the Norman Conquest of England inthe geld continued to be collected untilbut it was eventually replaced with taxes on personal property and income. Britanniathe southern and central part of the island of Great Britain, was a province of the Roman Empire until the Roman departure from Britain in around AD. The Emperor Honorius told the Britons in that they were responsible for their own defence, [1] and from then until the landing of Augustine of Canterbury in the Kingdom of Kent in as part of the Gregorian missionlittle is known about Britain's governmental structures or financial systems. Other mentions of taxes are contained in the law code of King Ine of Wessex. Although other early Anglo-Saxon kings are not mentioned as collecting taxes, the medieval writer Bede does mention that land in Anglesey and the Isle of Man were divided up in hidesdefined in Ine's law as a unit of land that could be used for collecting food and other goods from the king's subjects. A document from the 7th England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings: 1075-1225 8th century, the Tribal Hidageshows that much of the Anglo-Saxon lands had been divided into hides by that time. Charters from the time of King Offa of Mercia show that tolls were collected on trade, and it was during Offa's reign that coinage in silver pennies was first introduced into Anglo-Saxon England. Coinage became a royal right, and was probably introduced to make payment of taxes easier. In early Anglo-Saxon England the hide was used as the basis for assessing the amount of food rent known as feorm due from an area. Initially the size of the hide varied according to value and resources of the land itself. Tenants had a threefold obligation, based on their landholding, they had to provide manpower for the so-called "common burdens" of military service, fortress work, and bridge repair. The tax was known as Danegeld and was used to pay the raiders off rather than fight. In the 9th century Alfred the Great confronted the Viking problem. After his victory over them at the Battle of Edington he set about building a system of fortified towns or forts, known as burhs. He also updated the traditional fyrd to provide a standing army and navy. To fund all of these changes Alfred required a new system of tax and conscription that is contained in a document, now known as the Burghal Hidage. The Burghal Hidage contains a list of over thirty fortified places and the taxes, recorded as numbers of hides, assigned for their maintenance. All profits from these actions went to the king, and were a royal right. The reinforced military was needed, in the face of an invasion of England, by England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings: 1075-1225 Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark. Later, after the conquest of England by Sweyn's son Cnut the Greatthe geld was continued. This tax used similar machinery for collection as Danegeld and was again based on the amount of England Under the Norman and Angevin Kings: 1075-1225 a tenant had. The amount due from each hide was variable. In Edward the Confessor abolished heregeld and saved money by selling off his navy, giving the responsibility of naval defence to the Cinque ports in return for various privileges.

  • Taxation and Voting Rights in Medieval England and France
    TAXATION AND VOTING RIGHTS IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND AND FRANCE Yoram Barzel and Edgar Kiser ABSTRACT We explore the relationship between voting rights and taxation in medieval England and France. We hypothesize that voting was a wealth-enhancing institution formed by the ruler in order to facili- tate pro®table joint projects with subjects. We predict when voting rightsand tax paymentswill be linked to each other, as well asto the projectsinducing them, and when they will become separated. We classify taxes into three types: customary, consensual and arbitrary. Customary taxes that did not require voting were dominant in both countriesin the early medieval period. Thesepay- ments, ®xed for speci®c purposes, were not well suited for funding new, large-scale projects. Consensual taxation, in which voting rightsand tax paymentswere tightly linked, wasusedto ®nance new, large-scale collective projects in both England and France. Strong rule-of-law institutions are necessary to produce such taxes. In England, where security of rule remained high, the rela- tionship between tax payments and voting rights was maintained. In France, an increase in the insecurity of rule, and the accompany- ing weakening of voting institutions, produced a shift to arbitrary taxation and a disjunction between tax payments and voting rights. These observations, as well as many of the details we con- sider, are substantially in conformity with the predictions of our model. KEY WORDS . medieval history . taxation . voting Introduction The relationship between taxation and voting rights has been a central issue in political philosophy and the cause of signi®cant poli- tical disputes, as `no taxation without representation' exempli®es.

  • Surnames As a Science
    m KIN AMES AS A SCIENCE ROBERT FERGUSON, M.P., F.S.A., F.S.A. (SCOT.) ; AUTHOR OF "THE TEUTONIC NAME-SYSTEM." xo LONDON : GEORGE ROUTLEDGE AND SONS, BROADWAY, LUDGATE HILL, NEW YORK : 9, LAFAYETTE PLACE. 1883. LONDON : R. CLAY, SONS, AND TAYLOR, BREAD STREET HILL. TO MRS. R. H. DANA (nee LONGFELLOW), OF BOSTON, MASS., IN MEMORY OF EARLY AND VALUED FRIENDSHIP, AND OF DAYS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN, PASSED AT CRAGIE HOUSE, THIS LITTLE VOLUME IS INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. THAT portion of our surnames which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, and so forms a part of the general system by which Teutonic names are governed, is distinctly a branch of a science, and as such has been treated by the Germans, upon whose lines I have generally endeavoured to follow. It has been a part of my object to show that this portion of our surnames is a very much larger one than has been generally supposed, and that it includes a very great number of names which have hitherto been otherwise accounted for, as well as of course a great number for which no explanation has been forthcoming. Nevertheless, while claiming for my subject the dignity of a science, I am very well aware that the question as to how far I have myself succeeded in treating it scientifically is an entirely different one, vi PREFACE. and one upon which it will be for others than myself to pronounce an opinion. This work is of the nature of a supplement to one which I published some time ago under the title of The Teutonic Name-system applied to the Family- names of France, England, and Germany (Williams and Norgate), though I have been obliged, in order to render my system intelligible, to a certain extent to go over the same ground again.

  • Owner-Occupied Housing Taxation
    OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING TAXATION: AN EQUITY EVALUATION OF THE UK AND US TAX SYSTEMS Volume I of II PHYLLIS REA ALEXANDER A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY JULY 2012 Abstract Phyllis Rea Alexander Owner-occupied Housing Taxation: An Equity Evaluation of UK and US Tax Systems This research identifies and quantifies horizontal and vertical inequities resulting from selected owner-occupied housing tax policies though micro-simulation. The simulations are spread sheet constructions underpinned by the respective UK and US tax systems. Within each country-specific simulation case families are established varying with regard to income levels and investment choices. The specific tax policies analysed are the acquisition taxes, property taxes, elements specific to housing affecting income taxes (i.e. mortgage interest relief) and capital gains taxes. In addition to the specific tax policies, the overall tax obligations (the sum of the four specific taxes) are considered. The time frame of the study is a twenty-year period from 1990 through 2009. A recurring theme in the literature is that homeowners ought to be taxed as investors in rental properties to ensure tenure neutrality or, alternatively, taxed as any other investor to ensure tax neutrality. This research considers the corresponding effects on horizontal and vertical equity by modifying the UK and US tax systems for increased levels of neutrality through further micro-simulation analysis. Finally, the respective owner-occupied housing tax policy changes and reforms that occurred within the twenty-year period studied are evaluated in terms of enhancements to or hindrances of horizontal and vertical equity.

    QUIA EMPTORES, SUBINFEUDATION, AND THE DECLINE OF FEUDALISM IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND: FEUDALISM, IT IS YOUR COUNT THAT VOTES Michael D. Garofalo Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2017 APPROVED: Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Chair Laura Stern, Committee Member Mickey Abel, Minor Professor Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Garofalo, Michael D. Quia Emptores, Subinfeudation, and the Decline of Feudalism in Medieval England: Feudalism, it is Your Count that Votes. Master of Science (History), August 2017, 123 pp., bibliography, 121 titles. The focus of this thesis is threefold. First, Edward I enacted the Statute of Westminster III, Quia Emptores in 1290, at the insistence of his leading barons. Secondly, there were precedents for the king of England doing something against his will. Finally, there were unintended consequences once parliament passed this statute. The passage of the statute effectively outlawed subinfeudation in all fee simple estates. It also detailed how land was able to be transferred from one possessor to another. Prior to this statute being signed into law, a lord owed the King feudal incidences, which are fees or services of various types, paid by each property holder. In some cases, these fees were due in the form of knights and fighting soldiers along with the weapons and armor to support them. The number of these knights owed depended on the amount of land held. Lords in many cases would transfer land to another person and that person would now owe the feudal incidences to his new lord, not the original one.

    This document has been created by the History Data Service and is based on information supplied by the depositor SN:5694 - Electronic Edition of Domesday Book: Translation, Databases and Scholarly Commentary, 1086 Note HDS: this is the 2nd edition of this study, the main change in comparison with the 2007 edition is the addition of the new file identifying_domesday_landowners.rtf,a short introduction into this file can be found at its pages 1-3, a bibliography at its pages563-573. Project Summary The text of Domesday Book is notoriously ambiguous, its array of social and economic statistics hitherto inaccessible, and the majority of individuals and many places unidentified. This electronic edition aims to make Domesday Book both more accessible and more intelligible by presenting its contents in a variety of forms: a translation, databases of names, places and statistics, and a detailed scholarly commentary on all matters of interest or obscurity in the text. All forms of the data are cross-referenced, and all can be used in standard applications such as Microsoft Office. Resource Abstract The Domesday Book (1086) contains the most comprehensive array of social and economic data for the pre-industrial world from anywhere in Europe, possibly from the planet. It is a major source for the disciplines of archaeology, geography, genealogy, law, linguistics, onomastics, palaeography, philology, prosopography, and topography; for several of these disciplines, it is the major source. The history of majority of towns and villages begins with Domesday Book, which includes a vast amount of data on names, places, individuals, taxation, land use, population groups, estate values, legal matters, and a wide variety of economic and agricultural resources: mills, meadow, woodland, pasture, salt-pans, fisheries, etc.

  • Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield
    Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield July 5th 1919 A challenge to our readers. We have much pleasure in recommencing in this issue our column of Local Notes and Queries which proved such a popular feature of this paper for 20 years, but which we were compelled to discontinue for a time owing to difficulties created by the war. We are particularly anxious that this column should consist as far as possible of notes, queries and replies contributed by our readers themselves, and it will very largely depend upon the assistance we receive from them in this direction whether or not the feature shall be continued. It would of course, be an easy matter for us to get a column of such notes written up each week in our own offices, but this is not our purpose in reintroducing this feature in our paper. We want the column to be almost entirely our readers own column, and if they show by their contributions to it that they appreciate such a feature it will be a pleasure to us to help them in every way we can in making the column interesting and useful. If, on the other hand, the contributions we receive from our readers are so few and far between as to suggest that they take little or no interest in such a column, we shall very soon discontinue it, and insert some other feature in it’s place. We therefore invite any and all of our readers who are in any way interested in such matters to send us short interesting notes or queries on any of the following or kindred subjects relating to the district over which the paper

The subject of research, connected as it is with Scottish history, is one which appeals naturally to a Scottish student of English manorial history; for although it is well known that the Scottish kings held certain lands in England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries little attention has been given to the details of these holdings. The personal association of David I and his heirs and of the ill-fated John Balliol with the Honour of Huntingdon, the Liberty of Tyndale and the Honour of Penrith is usually regarded as an incident of feudal tenure, and the sojourn of the Scottish kings on English soil has left no records other than the allowances and establish- ments of the royal household.

  • The Evolution of Parliament
    THE EVOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT BY A. F. POLLARD, M.A., LITT.D. SECOND EDITION, REVISED First published in 1920 Second edition 1926 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION THISvolulne is the outcome of studies which were turned Ln the direction of constitutional history partly by my appointment to a chair with that title at University College, London, in 1903, and more specifically by my election in 1908 to a fellowship at All Souls' College, Oxford, on con- dltion of pursuing researches suggested by the late F. W. Maitland. The first sketch of this essay took the form of six public lectures delivered in London in Lent Term 1913, which were expanded into fifteen lectures given on the Goldwin Smith foundation at Cornell University and else- where in the United States in the following spring. The manuscript was completed, save for some notes and refer- ences, in August 1915, when the increasing tension of the war put a stop to remoter studies. During these seventeen years the history of the English parliament has attracted the labour of several learned historians, and particular acknowledgement is due to Pro- fessor C. H. McIlwain's High Court of Parliament, which, coming into my hands at the end of 1912, confirmed the trend of my investigations and supplied me with fresh ideas and illustrations. Another American book, Professor Bald- win's King's Council in the Middle Ages, published in 1914, threw valuable light on a collateral subject. But the starting-point for all of us has been Maitland's introduction to the Menzoranda de Parliarnento, which he edited for the Rolls Series in 1893, the most original and suggestive essay v vi PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION vii that has ever been written on the medieval English par- held at University Collcge during the last six years liament.
