Beginning in the twelfth century, taxation increasingly became an
essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe.
The state-building process and relations between princes and their
subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply
shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced
many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis
of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive
overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It
examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe,
including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the
power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It
goes on to survey the entire European continent, as well as
including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world,
exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what
kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal
power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across
cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most
important types of medieval taxes, giving an essential definition
of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of
Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience,
from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis, to
students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this
critical subject.
