Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the traditional view that, in medieval Austria, only clerics were exempt from taxation. The author presents evidence to demonstrate that the situation was far more complex. Some ecclesiastical institutions, such as the cathedral chapters, were subject to taxation, while certain secular groups, such as noblemen and knights, benefited from tax exemptions. Drawing on legal documents from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the author argues that the extent of an institution's tax liability depended on its legal status and relationship to the landholding aristocracy and the ruling Habsburg dynasty. By analyzing the interplay between ecclesiastical and secular power, this book sheds new light on the development of the Austrian state and the role of taxation in shaping medieval society.
