[OE. hęreᵹield, f. hęre host, the (Danish) army + ᵹield, ᵹyld, ᵹild payment, tribute, tax = OS. geld, OHG. gelt, ON. gjald, Goth. gild, tribute, payment. The OE. word did not survive into ME. It was taken up by legal antiquaries and historical writers of the 17th century, who interpreted the Anglo-Saxon ᵹ as g; the regular antiquarian form is, therefore, heregeld, -gild (cf. Danegeld).]
O.E. Hist. The tribute paid to the Danish host; the tax collected to subsidize the Danes; Danegeld.
