Why could england raise more money to fight wars than france with 3x her population? Because nobility paid the taxes, in France the peasantry did and the nobility evaded taxes. Why? English taxes were raised by consent of the nobility, then parliament, not by edict of the crown. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1461773140892213256
