A quick definition of hidage:

Hidage is a tax that people had to pay to the king based on how much land they owned. It was calculated by the number of hides of land a person had. A hide was a unit of land measurement. This tax was used in the past but is not used anymore. It was replaced by other taxes like subsidies.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Hidage (also spelled hydage) is a historical tax that was payable to the Crown based on every hide of land.

Example: In medieval England, a landowner who owned one hide of land would have to pay a certain amount of hidage to the Crown.

Explanation: The example illustrates how hidage was calculated based on the amount of land a person owned. The more land a person owned, the more hidage they would have to pay to the Crown. This tax was used to fund the government and its activities.
