medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
It might be worth trying the following for clues:
Lunt, William Edward, 1882-1956.
Accounts rendered by papal collectors in
England, 1317-1378. Transcribed with annotations and introd. by William E.
Lunt. Edited, with additions and revisions by Edgar B. Graves.
Philadelphia, American Philosophical Society, 1968.
Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society v. 70
The taxation of the clergy (10ths etc.) imposed by Convocation or
Parliament in England must have been based on a system.
See, for example:
Lincoln, England. (Diocese)
A subsidy collected in the diocese of Lincoln
in 1526, ed. by Rev. H. Salter.
Oxford, B. H. Blackwell; [etc., etc.] 1909.
Oxford Historical Society (Series) v.63.
The Roman curia also assessed annates & services from the newly appointed
holders of benefices. The literature on the chancery & chamber of the
papacy is too large to cite here.
