Husgabel (husgabulum) or gavelgeld, were terms used at York for a tax paid paid to the king or archbishop on house properties. This is an incomplete record of husgabel covering the areas of Goodramgate (?), Bootham, Monkgate, and Micklegate, and the amounts recorded were payable to King Edward I. It is the earliest surviving record produced by the civic authorities in York.
Note that in his catalogue of York's civic records, William Giles incorrectly identifed this roll as a chamberlain's roll [Catalogue of the charters, house books, freemen's rolls ... and other ... old documents belonging to the Corporation of York ... compiled by William Giles, 1909].
