An equivalent to the invaluable sources, which the lists of ^'iennetithe of the bishoprics of Uppsala and Sträiif^näs represent, is not available for an estimation of the assessment of territories, belonging' to the other mediaeval bishoprics of Sweden. However we are not wholly deprived of the Viennetithe as a source for these bishoprics: even if detailed lists of the taxation for the parishpriests are not in hand, there are always the accounts of the papal collectors, showing the total amounts for the bishoprics during the h-year|)eriod in (piestion. These amounts can serve as a rough estimate of the total taxation for parishpriests. bishops, canonries and convents, the main objects of taxation. After fixing the amount for one year — l/(> of the total amounts for these objects of taxation can he calculated mainly by the norms, observed in the analysis of the amounts in the lists of the lushoprics of Uppsala and Strängnäs.

If the same taxation is applied to the six canonries of the bishopric of Västerås as for the canonries of the bishopric of Strängnäs or 10 marks and taking into account that there were no convents in the bishopric, the rest of the annual amount. 122 4/8 marks or 980 öres. would fall on the priests, indicating an assessment of about 8 huuds.
