What was used to pay taxes in Medieval England
Upvote:2
The answer depends on dozens of different factors. If you did a quick review of wikipedia and google before asking the question, you could have answered most of your questions, identified the factors and been able to ask a far better question.
Most of the time taxes were paid in kind (chickens, grain, etc.) Other taxes were paid in labor - time spent laboring in the lord's field or building his roads, or other required service. Most people didn't have any coin. (I don't have a source, but I remember one village in England where a single coin was used to settle all debts in the village on a single day; in technical terms, the supply of money was small, but the velocity of money was huge for one day out of the year). You may also want to research "rose rent". There were different tax customs for towns, nobles, yeomen, and other special categories.
Trivial research on google will answer that English coins were usually silver; gold coins were rare.
Tally sticks are essential; if you don't have zero or algebra keeping accounts is fiendishly difficult. Tally sticks and tally cloths are tools to help keep accounts.
You've opened a fascinating topic, but as it stands the question is both trivial and broad. Can you ask another question that narrows down the scope of what you want to know?
