  （封建领主向佃户征收的）佃租
  Example sentencesExamples
  In 1310 the king granted life exemption from tallages, prises, juries, assizes, and royal ministries to Nicholas de Fakenham of Lynn, who is not known to have held any office.
  The tallages might bring in between £70 - £90 each, but still do not seem to have sufficed to avoid borough deficits at a time when many expenses were being incurred to assert, defend or expand borough jurisdictions and liberties.
  It appears that the burgesses as a group were responsible for payment of the Domesday custom and for later tallages and aids.
  The need to bargain with royal commissioners concerning tallages, and the ability to divide the assessment among citizens according to their property, also required certain financial ability and knowledge of property values.

Origin

Middle English: from Old French taillage, from tailler 'to cut' (see tail²).
