Carucage was a medieval English land tax introduced by King Richard I in 1194, based on the size of the estate owned by the taxpayer |
|
|
It was a replacement for the danegeld, last imposed in 1162, which had become difficult to collect because of an increasing number of exemptions |
|
|
Carucage was levied just six times: by Richard in 1194 and 1198; John, his brother and successor, in 1200; and Johns son, Henry III, in 1217, 1220, and 1224, after which it was replaced by taxes on income and personal property |
