Scutage (scutagia in Latin) or shield-money was paid instead of providing military service. Since all knights owed service to someone above them in rank this was a way of avoiding that service, effectively by paying a fine instead.
Scutage seems to have been introduced to England by the Normans as a consequence of the feudal system; it enabled substitutes to be hired in place of people who could not or would not present themselves for military service. The amount involved exactly reflects the pay given to a knight during his 40 day's military service: 8 silver pennies per day.

A shield volcano got its name from its shape. If you put a round shield from the medieval times on the ground, it would have a slightly rounded shape. A shield volcano has gentle slopes and base lava. The lava is runny and can travel a long way before cooling. Shield volcanos are normally less explosive than a Cone volcano. NatashaLouisex
