back in the middle ages, the exchequer, was the kings treasurer, he would periodically collect taxes for the king, and kingdom, he would have tax collectors go from door to door and collect the taxes that were due, if a person could not pay his taxes, he would go to the king and if he had a convincing reason the king would excuse him, to let the collectors know he was excused the king would have an officer of the court go out and paint a white x on their door, signifying to the collectors he, or the property was excused. and that is what i was taught in grade school.
