How can that adorable creature be a tax collector? And how can the villagers treat a tax collector like a friend? A tax collector of the old times should be the most hated individual villagers are forced to deal with regularly. It's obvious their taxes aren't high, which is pure fiction as in ye olde times people were regularly taxed to death, literally, but still her job is to travel from household to household and collect hard-earned wealth from the people, without giving anything in return. Because in the past taxes weren't used for the common good, they were used to fatten the rulers, for the military, and such things. In addition to the taxes, ordinary people were often more or less forced to provide an amount of service to the crown or the local lords, for example to build/maintain roads.

That is pure fiction came up with by sensationalist modernists. In reality, taxes varied just as wildly back then as they do now with time and regions. On broad-brush average, however, medieval peasants paid less in taxes (percentage-wise) than modern first-world citizens today. In VERY RARE cases were the peasantry taxed to starvation/death, but these were the exceptions that proved the norm - so much so that the only contemporary proof of this happening was in outrage at it occurring. Real historical nobles tended to not be such large ignoramuses as to kill off their own peasants, that's pure modern sensationalism.
