'Scutage" was the money payment
exacted from knights In lieu Of per
sonal service. The first instance Of It
occurred in the reign Of Henry II. It
enabled the king to hire mercenarles
for his foreign wars and to dispense
with the services Of his barons and
came to be regarded as regular
source Of revenue. The right Of the
sovereign to exact 1t, however, was
generally restricted by Magma Charta.
Il was also given as escuage.
