Abstract

Abstract:

The principle that"The King Shall Live of His Own"was important in English theory of taxation.In the late medieval period and early modern period, among others, it served as a weapon to curb Kings' levying taxes.Some scholars, seeing certain changes in the tax system, hold that Tudor Kings broke such a tradition.This paper is intended to prove that Tudor Kings still conformed to the principle that "The King Shall Live of His Own"through quantitative analyses of the revenues from taxes granted by the Parliament and the war expenditure.

Key words: the principle that "the King Shall Live of His Own", theory of taxation, the Tudor Dynasty
