Escuage

El escuage, también llamado scutage, se trata de un término jurídico del Derecho Feudal, procedente del latín medieval scutagium, derivado del latín clásico scutum (escudo).

Consistía en la obligación que se imponía al vasallo, como pago de la tenencia que tenía de un señor feudal, de seguir a éste a la guerra corriendo con los gastos. A partir del siglo XI se pudo cambiar este compromiso por la entrega de una cantidad en metálico. Fue muy frecuente en la Inglaterra de la Plena Edad Media (siglos XI-XIII).
