Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the history of French public finance under the first three Valois kings (1328-1355). The author examines the medieval financial and political context of this era and uncovers the tension between the kingâs growing demand for resources to fund wars and the need for popular consent to extraordinary taxes. Through the analysis of surviving administrative and financial documents, it details the Crown's persistent struggle to impose its authority on its increasingly powerful vassals and to transform the system of feudal taxation into a modern system of public finance. The book sheds light on the historical development of taxation and the origins of the stateâs ability to extract resources from its subjects.
