Intended use and expenditure of amounts from extraordinary taxes on noble goods in Poland in the 15th century
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM Uniwersytetu Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego w Krakowie, 2024) Szulc, Tadeusz
There was no legal norm or custom which prohibited the royals from asking the nobility to enact extraordinary financial aid in the form of tax. His demands were always well-founded. As a reason the king quoted: a) the purchase of land or castles; b) the marriage of the ruler or his daughter; c) the cost of war or payment of wages. The taxes collected were usually spent for this purpose, but there were times when they were spent for purposes other than those that the nobility at the time agreed for to establish them. The king did not differentiate between private and public expenditure, he had free disposal of tax money. There were no institutionalised forms of control of the ruler’s expenditure. The fact that the tax was intended for a specific purpose in a tax resolution did not mean that it had to be spent for that purpose, it was merely a matter of justifying its enacting.
