This payment was called both Annates and First Fruits. The Second Act of Annates was passed, called the Act in Absolute Restraint of Annates. The concordat also stipulated annates and other matters. The Annates threat was carried out but not yet legalised by Parliament. The "servitia communia" of bishops and abbots (see Annates) were regulated at fixed sums. Annates were monies (church taxes effectively) that were collected in England and sent to Rome.
