Devon Lay Subsidy Rolls 1524-1527 (edited by T. L. Stoate)

In the first half of 1523 after an attempt by Wolsey to raise £800,000 by a levy of 4/- in the £, and after a prolonged argument, the Commons granted a subsidy on income and on the capital values of goods in terms which may be divided into three categories:

• On income from land and other yearly income, such as fees and annuities but not wages, at the rate of 1/- in the £ for each of the two years 1524 and 1525.
• On the capital value of goods of from £2 upwards. Goods of £20 and more attracted the same rate as those with lands, that is 1/- in the £. Those with goods valued at under £20 down to and including £2 paid 6d in the £ in each case yearly as above.
• The third category on wages and on goods under £2. Everyone (person being of the age of 16 years or above) with goods of under £2 or wages of any amount was to pay 4d yearly.

 

In all categories and at all rates of taxation, aliens had to pay double the rate or, if they were not otherwise liable, a poll tax of 8d.

A man could only be taxed in one category, that is on lands or goods or wages. He could only be taxed in one place, normally the place of his principal residence.

The clergy were assessed and taxed on their spiritual wealth in a separate clerical subsidy with which we are not concerned here. They were, however, liable for the lay subsidy on any temporal lands they held.

Devon Lay Subsidy Rolls 1543-1545 (edited by T. L. Stoate)

Subsidy granted in 1543. This was granted by Parliament to enable the King to continue the war against Scotland. The tax on wages in the 1524 subsidy was dropped but, as in that subsidy, the lower limit on lands and goods was £1 and in practice the net was just as wide, the £1 in wages category being replaced by £1 in goods.

Comparison with 1524. Although the 1543 subsidy did not tax wages, as did the earlier one, this made little or no difference to the number of taxpayers. As was seen in the 1524 subsidy £1 on wages and £1 on goods were interchangeable and all that happened in the 1543 subsidy is that those who would otherwise have been taxed on £1 of wages p.a. were taxed on £1 worth of goods.

The Devon Muster Roll for 1569 (edited by T. L. Stoate and A. J. Howard)

Mustering, which in this period meant little more than a display and inspection of men and equipment arose out of the obligation of every man to bear arms in home defence.

In 1567 a strong Spanish army established in the Netherlands constituted a real threat to England and was so understood by Elizabeth and the Privy Council. On March 26th 1569 the Council issued a directive to the counties to hold a general muster of all men over 16.

Certificates of the muster, with the names of the men and their equipment, were to be returned.

The roll ought to give the names of all ablemen between the ages of 16 and 60, there being no better definition of “able” than that they were fit to serve in war.
