See also:PURVEYANCE (See also:Lat. providere, to provide) , in See also:England in former times the right of the See also:sovereign when travelling through the See also:country to receive See also:food and drink and See also:maintenance generally from his subjects for himself and his See also:retinue. The See also:custom See also:dates from Anglo-Saxon tines and is analogous to the right of fodrum, or See also:annona militaris, exercised by the Frankish See also:kings. Although in See also:early times purveyance was reasonable and necessary, enabling the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king to make journeys for the purpose of administering See also:justice and discharging the other duties of See also:government, it was liable to See also:grave abuses, and under the later See also:Plantagenet kings it became very oppressive. See also:Provision for the royal needs was interpreted in the widest possible sense, and the right was exercised, not only on behalf of the king, but on behalf of his relatives. Besides victuals it included the compulsory use of horses and carts and even the enforcement of See also:personal labour. Not infrequently no See also:payment was made; when it was it often took the See also:form of tallies, which gave the recipient the right to deduct the amount from any taxes he might have to pay in the future. Purveyors were appointed to requisition goods, and they also fixed the See also:price. The abuses of purveyance, which appear to have reached their See also:climax during the reign of See also:Edward I., frequently provoked legislation. See also:Chapter See also:xxviii. of Magna Carta is directed against them, while further attempts to curb them were made in the See also:Statute of See also:Westminster of 1275 and in the Articuli super cartas of 1300. Purveyance was entirely forbidden by the See also:ordinance of 1311, but in spite of all prohibitions its evils See also:grew and flourished. During the reign of Edward III. ten statutes were directed against it, and by a See also:law of 1362 it was restricted to the personal wants of the king and See also:queen; at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time the hated name of purveyor was changed to that of buyer, and ready See also:money was ordered to be paid for the articles taken. From this time little was heard about the evils of purveyance until 1604, when the See also:House of See also:Commons petitioned See also:- JAMES

Bacon called purveyance " the most See also:common and See also:general abuse of all others in the See also:kingdom." Twice James entered into negotiations with his See also:parliament for commuting his See also:crown rights, of which purveyance was one, for an See also:annual payment, but no arrangement was reached. In 166o, however, the right of purveyance, which had fallen into disuse with the See also:execution of See also:Charles I., was surrendered by Charles II. in return for the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.
