The exchequer was a financial institution, its name taken from the chequered cloth (like a chess board) laid on the table to assist in counting money and calculating the amount of tax due to the crown. The ''lower exchequer'' dealt with accounts payable and receivable. The ''upper exchequer'' managed the royal revenue, audited the accounts and dealt with disputes, thus having a judicial role as well as a financial one. The exchequer administered the king’s finances throughout the Middle Ages, but from the 16<sup>th</sup> century the ''treasury'' began to take over this role. By 1883 the exchequer had no financial functions left but did continue its judicial ones until the 1870s.<ref>Christensen, Penelope.
