I am aware that it is a tradition, but given that it's a stupid ass tradition I have elected to ignore it.

Seems quite fitting to be honest

So if they don't know who is in the property or where it is, who pays this rent? And where is the queens 800 axe collection kept?
kasaku
She does have horses.

The city government
MotoH
They know where the land is (the moors and the forge) and the 'rent' is the same nails, knives and shoes used each year. It's a ceremony.

Asking the real questions. I too want to see this axe collection.

4,000 horseshoes. Imagine the size of court you'd need to play a game of 4,000 horseshoes
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
I think you just need 1000 horses
SoupCanMan
Unless it's cosmetic, the horse shoes would be nice for all those ceremonies they have with the horses.

It's a pretty American backyard game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoes

Standard length is 48feet. 48*4000= 192,000. You would have to throw 4,000 horseshoes 192,000 feet.

The City of London pays the rent, not London. Prepare to be amazed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc

It's the same items each year, not new items. It's purely ceremonial.

Well that's both a buzz kill and lame.

Then who cares?
DeniseReade
I like my first idea of how this works better. In it the queen has a bedframe and bureau made entirely of axes...
Morg729
Or a throne
myotheralt
So she just gives them back?
shadelkan
"she" doesn't actually get them. The remembrancer does. But yes, it's returned before the next year. It's call a quit rent.

Let me make that work with my landlord.
