Domesday Book is the oldest and most precious of the public records of England, but historians still disagree on its purpose. In arguing that the writing of Domesday Book was no part of the Domesday survey, this book proposes a solution to a riddle that will change our perception of the Norman Conquest and Norman kingship.
