[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 3352584, member: 463"] Incidentally, this whole 'treasure trove' setup requires either: 1. The King is taxing dungeon loot as imports (hence my EU quip, just been lecturing my E-Commerce class & I discussed the EU VAT regime levied on goods imported from outside the EU, eg USA). or 2. The King says the dungeon & its contents are already part of his domain, like mineral rights & gold/silver treasure trove under UK law. Both of these have serious legal implications re the status of the dungeon & its denizens. Is it a foreign power? Are goods in it res nullius or res delicta? Are its inhabitants subjects of the King? Outlaws? As noted, a typical feudal set-up is unlikely to be engaged in this sort of tax attempt, feudal and early modern states lacked the infrastructure to pursue mobile high-value goods and preferred to tax visible things - like windows!
