Poll Tax of 1379

In 1379, a graduated Poll Tax was introduced to raise money for the war with France.

It failed to raise the raise the revenue which had been expected, and a flat rate polltax of three groats per head was thus introduced in 1380.

The graduated Poll Tax of 1379 having failed to raise the raise the revenue which had been expected, a flat rate poll tax of three groats per head was introduced in 1380 "on every lay person in the realm save beggars."

While affordable to the more well-to-do of society, it was very unfair in that it targetted the poorest classes as well - those whom had hitherto been exempt from taxation.

Amongst a more general discontent, it was this Poll Tax which triggered the Peasants' Revolt of the following year.
