Domesday Book
Domesday Book is the record of the great survey of England ordered by William the Conqueror in 1085 and largely completed in 1086. It lists landholders, manors, resources and taxable values across most of the kingdom, giving an unmatched picture of the land after the Norman Conquest. It also records local customs, including the Welsh laws of Archenfield on the border.
