Synopsis

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

Times Literary Supplement - M. T. Clanchy

David Roffe offers a fresh look at some obstinate problems about a justly famous medieval manuscript.
