200/40, Poll Tax Aqp 2 Richard II. The following is the account of
this record given in the catalogue "A Roll made up of portions found
at very different times, all in a very good state of preservation,
which have been brought together and put in a perfect state of
arrangement, so as now to form one of the most complete and valuable
of the whole body of the Subsidy Rolls. That it is now complete, and
in the state in which it was originally delivered into the
Exchequer, appears from this, that attached to one of the membranes,
united by old stitching, is the Indenture dated, at Doncaster Monday
next after the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the
third year of the King (Richard the Second), made between William de
Melton and John Sayvyll, Assessors and Taxors of the Subsidy granted
to King Richard the Second in the second year of his reign, in the
West riding com. Ebor, on the one part, and Peter Mauleverer, knt.,
and Richard Lewer, of Doncaster, collectors of the said Subsidy, on
the other part, witnessing that the said assessors have delivered to
the said collectors 53 indented Rolls in which the names of all
persons in the Westriding being of the age of 16, and not notorious
mendicants, and the sums charged on each, according to their state
