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.
