During the reign of Henry VIII, a popular protest occurred against arbitrary taxation for imposing taxes without the consent of parliament. This history of parliamentary taxation in England attempted to determine who or what the taxing authority was and whether the tax was laid following it. The author accurately traces England's tax and revenue system from the 11th century to the 17th century to inform the reader about every detail on the subject.
