About the «Fonsadera» and the Public Forms of Taxation

Abstract

As a tax in replacement of fonsado (the host service), fonsadera is analysed here in the context of military taxes and services, paying special attention to these phenomena in the Kingdoms of the Francs and the Empire. Fodrum and servitium regis as taxes linked to the provisioning of the king and his retinue, and their evolution towards a royal tax in cash. We will consider them as public forms of taxation that represent generic services due to the king, rather than the continuity of roman public taxation.
