So peasants in Merlioness only pay taxes and services to the Duke of Merlioness. The duke is then obligated to pay his dues to the monarchy.<br /><br />Historically, things can get more complicated, especially when the clergy gets involved and collects directly from the population, bypassing both local nobility and royalty.<br /><br />Any population controlled directly by the crown (family lands, a royal domain if any, and other royal apanages) pay dues and services to the monarchy.<br /><br />Does this clarify the issue?Bruce Heardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929476133092132896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752010860639064233.post-86909505408681092302012-07-27T18:25:44.056-05:002012-07-27T18:25:44.056-05:00Hi Bruce, can you please clarify taxation of the p...Hi Bruce, can you please clarify taxation of the populace that live within dominions and those that don't. From the Companion Set and from what you have said in this article, I thought the the populace was only taxed once with the national treasury being paid salt tax by dominions and direct tax from non-dominion populace. But in Gaz3 you were talking about the Free Farmers not wanting to be part of a dominion because it would double their taxes, ie they would have to pay tax to the local lord and the council of princes. Which is correct?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163214662342286065noreply@blogger.com
