Neither the assessment nor the yield of this tax can be calculated properly, because it was kept out of the control of the exchequer and spent locally. The sum of £6,000 given here represents only that fraction which happened to be handed over to royal agents and was recorded on the receipt rolls.

To the figure of £49,600 given there I have added the £353 16s paid by the men of Co. Durham as a free-will offering in lieu of the tax (Public Record Office, E401/518, 21 Nov. 1374).
