Information
has gloss	(noun) an impost levied in England to provide money for ships for national defense ship money
has gloss	eng: Ship money refers to a tax that Charles I of England tried to levy without the consent of Parliament. In medieval times, this tax, which was only applied to coastal towns during a time of war, was intended to offset the cost of defending that part of the coast, and could be paid in actual ships or the equivalent value. The collection of the tax inland during peacetime started in 1634 and provoked increasing resistance by 1636. This conflict was one of the causes of the English Civil War. Opposition This was the first occasion when the demand for ship money aroused serious opposition. Lord Northampton, Lord-Lieutenant of Warwickshire, and the Earl of Banbury in Berkshire, refused to assist in collecting the money; and Charles withdrew the writs. It will be seen, then, that the statement of Henry Hallam that in 1634 William Noy, the Attorney-General, unearthed in the Tower of London old records of ship money as a tax disused and forgotten for centuries has no real foundation.

has gloss	rus: Закон о «корабельных деньгах» — введенный в Англии в 1634 году Карлом I закон, своим действием направленный на развитие строительства флота. По этому закону прибрежные города, поставлявшие ранее суда для королевского флота, обязывались вносить вместо этого деньги в государственное казначейство, на которые строило и снаряжало суда уже само государство. Эта мера была вызвана постоянным уклонением прибрежных городов и очень плохим качеством поставляемых ими судов. Закон был проведен без согласия парламента, и это дало повод к беспорядкам, которые привели позже к восстанию против короля и к его казни.
