'''Danegeld''' was a royal tax (Olde English ''geld'') which was levied in [[England]] between 991 and 1012 in order to buy peace from the [[Denmark|Danish]] invaders. The geld was assessed according to [[hide|hidage]] and was separate and distinct from the general geld.

After 1066 the term was applied to the general geld which was effectively abandoned in 1162.
