Volker Stamm: Zur Bedeutung der Grundrente für die landesfürstlichen Einnahmen und bäuerlichen Abgaben in der Grafschaft Tirol (13./14. Jahrhundert)

The article contributes to the on-going discussion on the importance of revenues based on the possession of land compared with those resulting from the control over men, such as taxes, in the later Middle Ages. In the case of Tyrol, a region with a particularly dense tradition of sources rich of quantitative data, it demonstrates the persistent weight of land rents, which holds both for the budgets of the territorial ruler, Meinhard II., and of the peasants, the latter being subject to Meinhard’s landlordship and his territorial rule. It is underlined that the correct transformation of rent in kind into monetary values is critical to the assessment of the different components of income and dues.
