Excerpt from The Domesday Inquest Above all, I have tried to make Domesday Book its own interpreter, and to exhaust its evidence and that Of its subsidiary documents, before having recourse to evidence of other periods.

Domesday Book is the main source for an understanding of late Anglo-Saxon England and the Norman Conquest. And yet, despite over two centuries of study, no consensus has emerged as to its purpose. David Roffe proposes a radically new interpretation of England's oldest and most precious public record. He argues that historians have signally failed to produce a satisfactory account of the source because they have conflated two essentially unrelated processes, the production of Domesday Book itself and the Domesday inquest from the records of which it was compiled. New dating evidence is adduced to demonstrate that Domesday Book cannot have been started much before 1088, and old sources are reassessed to suggest that it was compiled by Rannulf Flambard in the aftermath of the revolt against William Rufus in the same year. Domesday Book was a land register drawn up by one of the greatest (and most hated) medieval administrators for administrative purposes. The Domesday inquest, by contrast, was commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1085 and was an enterprise of a different order. Following the threat of invasion from Denmark in that year it addressed the deficiencies in the national system of taxation and defence, and its findings formed the basis for a renegotiation of assessment to the geld and knight service. This study provides novel insights into the inquest as a principal vehicle of communication between the crown and the free communities over which it exercised sovereignty, and will challenge received notions of kingship in the eleventh century and beyond.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vii the humbler folk "Quot villani? quot cotarii? quot servi? Qnot liberi homines? quot sochemanni? Quantum ibi quisque liber homo vel sochemannus habuit vel habet?" of all the questions which were propounded to the Cambridgeshire jurors there are probably none which are the subject of greater discussion at the present day than those which are given in the heading to this chapter. The distinctions between these five classes of humbler folk, though certainly well known to the jurors, have hitherto eluded research, and the last word on the subject has yet to be written. These five classes may roughly be classed together as the cultivating occupiers; not that some of those whom we have previously been considering were not actually engaged in the manual labours of cultivation. In all probability, many of those who were classed as the King's vavassours, the King's thegns, and the King's serjeants, were the actual cultivators of the land they occupied, or, at all events, superintended its cultivation. But in this chapter we have to consider the position of those who were engaged in agriculture, and nothing but agriculture. It would, however, be misleading to call them "the labouring classes." The landless farm labourer of the present day is the product of later ages, and is an anomaly in Domesday Book. But here it is absolutely necessary to connect the evidence of Domesday Book with that of the periods before and after the Conquest, and it will be most convenient to consider the evidence relating to these men under four heads--the evidence of the pre-Conquest documents; the evidence of Domesday Book for the two periods for which it gives information; and the post-Domesday evidence. I. pre-conquest documents In our discussion of the "

Essays into numerous aspects of the Domesday Book, shedding fresh light on its mysteries. Compiled from the records of a survey of the kingdom of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1085, Domesday Book is a key source for the history of England. However, there has never been a critical edition of the textand so, despite over 200 years of intense academic study, its evidence has rarely been exploited to the full. The essays in this volume seek to realize the potential of Domesday Book by focussing on the manuscript itself. There are analyses of abbreviations, letter forms, and language; re-assessments of key sources, the role of tenants-in-chief in producing them, and the nature of the Norman settlement that their forms illuminate; a re-evaluation of the data and its referents; and finally, fresh examinations of the afterlife of the Domesday text and how it was subsequently perceived. In identifying new categories of evidence and revisiting old ones, these studies point to a better understanding of the text. There are surprising insights into its sources and developing programme and, intriguingly, a system of encoding hitherto unsuspected. In its turn the import of its data becomes clearer, thereby shedding new light on Anglo-Norman society and governance. It is in these terms that this volume offers a departure in Domesday studies and looks forward to the resolution of long-standing problems that have hitherto bedevilled the interpretation of an iconic text. David Roffe and K.S.B. Keats-Rohan are leading Domesday scholars who have published widely on Domesday Book and related matters. Contributors: Howard B. Clarke, Sally Harvey, K.S.B. Keats-Rohan, Andrew Lowerre, John Palmer, David Roffe, Ian Taylor, Pamela Taylor, Frank Thorn, Ann Williams.

The Domesday Book contains a great many things, including the most comprehensive, varied, and monumental legal material to survive from England before the rise of the common law. This book argues that it can - and should - be read as a legal text. When the statistical information present in the great survey is stripped away, there is much material still left, almost all of which stems directly from inquest, testimony given by jurors impanelled in 1086, or from the sworn statements of lords and their men. This information, read in context, can provide a picture of what the law looked like, the ways in which it was changing, and the means whereby the inquest was a central event in the formation of English law. The volume provides translations (with Latin legal terminology included parenthetically) for all of Domesday Book's legal references, each numbered and organised by county, fee, and folio.
