Under the later Anglo-Saxon kings the relations between England and Rome were not as good as in earlier times. Peter's pence were no longer sent from England according to custom. Canute's letter (cited in a previous paper)x bears witness to this negligence, which increased after his death. The laws regulating the payments were not enforced. The Papal Court only received gifts and offerings from England sent direct and voluntarily by private individuals. Occasionally Peter's pence were offered on the altars of the churches, but these went only into the bishop's treasury.
