Scutage

Scutage is a feudal obligation imposed on a vassal (a person who holds land from a lord in exchange for military service) in medieval England. It required the vassal to pay a monetary fee in exchange for exemption from providing military service in person. In other words, instead of serving in the military battles, the vassal paid the lord a certain amount of money, known as scutage, which gave them an exemption from military service. This practice allowed the lord to raise money for military campaigns while not having to rely on the labor and services of his vassals. Scutage was a way for the lord to collect revenue from his vassals while keeping them tied to the fief (land) they held. It was an important part of the feudal system in medieval England, and its practice influenced the development of taxation in Europe.
