Further Tax Exemptions in 1204: La Rochelle and Poitou

  • In 1204, as Philip II continued his conquest of Angevin lands, John extended similar tax exemptions to:

    • La Rochelle, an important Atlantic port.
    • Poitou, a contested region with historical ties to the Angevin dynasty.
  • By granting tax relief to these territories, John attempted to retain their allegiance and fortify his remaining power in Aquitaine.
