Henry II. as a synonym for the auxilium burgi, which was an occasional See also:payment exacted by See also:- KING

king and barons over and above the See also:annual firma burgi from See also:burgage tenants, since all boroughs after the See also:Norman See also:Conquest came to be regarded as in some See also:lord's See also:demesne
.
The tax displaced the
See also:Danegeld so far as the towns and demesne lands of the See also:Crown were concerned in the second See also:half of the 12th See also:century, and gradually the barons were deprived of the right of tallaging their respective demesnes without royal authorization
.
The See also:imposition of See also:tallage continued under the immediate successors of Henry II.; the barons failed to secure its See also:prohibition or even See also:limitation at Runnymede, and Henry III. levied it frequently
.
The amount to be paid was determined during this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time by officials of the See also:exchequer in special fiscal circuits through See also:separate negotiations with the various tax-paying communities, the towns usually raising their See also:quota by means of a capitation or See also:poll tax
.
Its imposition practically ceased by 1283 in favour of a See also:general See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant made in See also:parliament, and the king's retention of tallage seemed particularly unnecessary and illogical after burgesses were summoned to parliament
.
The See also:opinion used to be held that tallage was forbidden by the Confirmatio See also:car-/arum, but the Latin version of that document which bears the See also:title De tallagio non concedendo, although cited as a See also:statute in the See also:preamble to the See also:Petition of Right in 1627 and in a judicial decision of 1637, was merely a chronicler's See also:summary of the purposes of the See also:official See also:French document, which did not mention tallage by name
.
After 1297, however, there were only three levies of the tax: one by See also:Edward I. in 1304; again in 1312 by Edward II. despite the protests of See also:London and See also:Bristol; and finally in 1332, when Edward III. encountered such opposition from parliament that he withdrew the commissions and accepted in its See also:place a grant of a tenth-and-fifteenth
.
The last time that the king granted leave to the barons to tallage their demesnes was in 1305
.
The second statute of 1340 formally enacted that the nation should thenceforth not " make any See also:common aid or sustain See also:charge," including tallage, without consent of parliament
