Excerpt from Études sur le Régime Financier de la France Avant la Révolution de 1789, Vol. 2
L etude du régime financier de la France pendant les trois premiers siècles de la dynastie capétienne a montré qu'il n'y avait encore, à vrai dire, ni dépenses ni recettes publiques Ce n'était pas comme roi, c'était comme seigneur, comme pos sesseur de fiefs, que le prince percevait des cons sur ses tenan ciers, des tailles sur ses serfs, des droits de mutation sur les biens qui relevaient de lui; que, juge et administrateur, il avait les émoluments du sceau et des greffes, le profit des amendes.

Paperback. Condition: 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.
