[32] Bishop Stubbs (1 _Const. Hist. Eng._ 500) believes this struggle between Henry II and Becket to have been the deathblow to the levy of the Danegeld, which is not noted in the Pipe Rolls after 1163. J. H. Round [_Feudal England_, 497-502, in the paper “The Alleged Dispute on Danegeld (1163)”], effectually establishes his contention that the tax in question was not the Danegeld, but the “auxilium vicecomitis” or “Sheriff’s aid,” which was a customary, variable charge paid over locally to the sheriffs in payment for their services.

[40] 2 Stubbs, ed. _Gesta Regis Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis_, preface xcv-xcvii, cites other instances of scutage in this reign: 1161, for debts incurred in the Welsh war; 1172, for the expedition into Ireland; 1186, for the expedition into Galloway against the Irish prince, Ronald. [41] Gervas, c. 1381, in Stubbs, _Select Charters_, 129: Hoc anno (1159) rex Henricus scutagium sive scutagium de Anglia accepit, cujus summa fuit centum millia et quater viginti millia librarum argenti.

[45] The Danegeld disappears from the Rolls in 1163. It persists, probably, however, as a “donum” or an “auxilium.” The “carucage” of Richard I is the Danegeld under another name.

[48] Beside the instances of taxation noted above, the following are noteworthy: 1168, a regular feudal aid, _pur fille marier_ of one mark on the knight’s fee; 1173, exchequer officers held courts and exacted at the same time a tallage throughout the country. [49] The three auxilia are: For the ransom of the king, for the marriage of the king’s eldest daughter, and for the knighting of his eldest son. [50] Other scutages in this reign were: 1189, 10_s._ on the knight’s fee for a pretended expedition into Wales; 1195, 20_s._ on the knight’s fee from those who did not follow the king to Normandy; 1196, 20_s._ for the same reason. 1 Dowell, _Taxation and Taxes_, 41.
