| Publisher Description: A fascinating history of royal taxation and expenditure from 1066 to the early 18th century. Highly regarded upon publication, it was a standard work for many years. Stevens examines such income sources as feudal pledges and penalties imposed on conquered enemies and such expenses as defense, maintenance of the royal household and the suppression of heresy. Originally published: London: T. Tebb and J. Wilcox, 1725. |
