It appears that the burgesses as a group were responsible for payment of the Domesday custom and for later tallages and aids. |
The taille, as it still subsists in France may serve as an example of those ancient tallages. |
There were recurrent scutages and tallages on demesnes, which included boroughs. |
In 1310 the king granted life exemption from tallages, prises, juries, assizes, and royal ministries to Nicholas de Fakenham of Lynn, who is not known to have held any office. |
Tallages continued to be demanded at intervals until 1340, when Edward III agreed that the consent of Parliament must be obtained. |
