摘要
中世纪英国贵族和议会多次提出“国王必须靠自己过活” ,即国王应该像其他封建主那样依靠自己的习惯收入 ,维持王室的生活和国家正常的行政开支 ,只有在战争时期才能向全国臣民征税。但是随着行政事务和官员的增加 ,即使在和平时期 ,国王也难以“靠自己过活”。实际上 ,中古英国历代国王都不断地开辟新的税收 ,向全体臣民征税 ,扩大收入 ,所以他们也不必“靠自己过活”。
Under the influence of the vassal-lord contract, the King 'should live on h is own' in medieval England. It meant that king should live on his own revenue, namely on the revenue from royal demesne. But with the increase of military and administrative expenditure, the king found new taxations successively, especiall y he could make custom as his own revenue. So the king could not and need not 'live on his own'.
