On 26 November 1642 the Committee for the Advance of Money for the Service of the Parliament was established〔''Calendar of the Proceedings of the Committee for Advance of Money, 1642-1656'' C. H. Firth Review; The English Historical Review, Vol. 5, No. 20 (Oct., 1890), pp. 791-792〕 at Haberdashers Hall under Lord Howard of Escrick.〔''Calendar of the Committee for Advance of Money (3 vols) (1888)''; M.A.E. Green (ed)〕 The committee was established by the Long Parliament under ''An Ordinance for the assessing of all such as have not contributed upon the Propositions of both Houses of Parliament for the raising of money, plate, horse and horsemen, etc'' From 1642 to 1650 the Committee investigated people's wealth and obtained forced loans for the use of Parliament but repaid the money annually with interest. Initially, funds were obtained from all parties but, from August 1646, only Royalists were forced to contribute and goods could be seized for non compliance.〔''Ancestral Trails: The Complete Guide to British genealogy and family history''; Mark D. Herber p542〕 Contributors included the Royalist Francis Leigh, 1st Earl of Chichester who was assessed in November 1645 at £3,000 and given a year to pay. Howard was later exposed for receiving bribes from Royalists.〔 ==See also== *Committee for Compounding with Delinquents *Committee for Plundered Ministers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「committee for the advance of money」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
