the 1220 carucage, which was imposed on both laymen and clergy, was collected by a special commission, and was paid not into the exchequer, but to the templar order church in london, the new temple. the templars through their international organization functioned as bankers in and between countries. the three men appointed to the commission—william de halliwell, a friar, william fitzbenedict, a london resident, and alexander de sawbridgeworth, an exchequer clerk—were responsible for accounting for the money received, which amounted to £3,000. the time frame of the 1220 carucage collection was quite short; the orders for the assessments to be made were issued in august, but required the tax to be collected by michaelmas in late september. the 1220 tax attempted to allow for variation in land values, exempting barren land from taxation. the system for the 1220 assessments was simpler than the 1217 levy, as plough-teams were counted to determine the land size rather than requiring oaths from taxpayers. this tax gathered around £5,500. there was some difficulty in its collection however, as some counties did not pay, and a number of barons refused to pay, at least at first. the 1220 carucage was levied to pay for the defence of henry's lands in poitou, southern france.
