Trinoda necessitas

Trinoda necessitas

Trinoda necessitas is a Latin term used in Anglo-Saxon times: meaning "threefold tax". Subjects of an Anglo-Saxon king were required to yield three services: bridge-bote (repairing bridges and roads), burgh-bote (building and maintaining fortifications), and fyrd-bote (serving in the militia, known as the fyrd). Rulers very rarely exempted subjects from the "trinoda necessitas", because these services were the lifeblood of an Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
