"Doomsday Book (novel) Doomsday Book is a 1992 science fiction novel by American author Connie Willis. The novel won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and was shortlisted for other awards. The title of the book refers to the ""Domesday Book"" of 1086; Kivrin, the main character, says that her recording is ""a record of life in the Middle Ages, which is what William the Conqueror's survey turned out to be."" The novel is the first in a series about the Oxford time-traveling historians, which includes ""To Say Nothing of the Dog"" (1998) and ""Blackout/All Clear"" (2010). Willis' mythos is"

This was a national record of account to list what was owed to the king by his tenants in chief, his fellow Norman conquerors and the senior Prelates of the Church, whom were the greatest landholders. These in turn had sub-let to others, so that ownership and duties, either food-rents or military services, had become confused as to who owed them, the tenant in chief or the under-tenant.

"modern scholarly convention is to refer to the work as ""Domesday Book"" (or simply as ""Domesday""), without a definite article. However, the form ""the Domesday Book"" is also found in both academic and non-academic contexts. The ""Anglo-Saxon Chronicle"" states that planning for the survey was conducted in 1085, and the book's colophon states the survey was completed in 1086. It is not known when exactly Domesday Book was compiled, but the entire copy of Great Domesday appears to have been copied out by one person on parchment (prepared sheepskin), although six scribes seem to have been used for Little Domesday."

"St-Calais also served as a commissioner in the south-western part of England for the Domesday Book, which aimed to survey the whole of England and record who owned the lands. Some historians, including David Bates, have argued that St-Calais was the driving force behind the organization of the entire Domesday survey, although other candidates have been put forward, including Samson, Bishop of Worcester, before he became bishop. Pierre Chaplais, who argues for St-Calais being the main organizer of the survey, argues the bishop's exile in 1088 interrupted work on the ""Little Domesday Book"", a subproject of the survey which was"

"Ely Inquiry The Ely Inquiry or ""Inquisitio Eliensis"" [""IE""] was a satellite of the 1086 Domesday survey. Its importance is both that it gives a more detailed account of the local area than Domesday Book itself, and that its prologue offers an account of the terms of enquiry of the Domesday survey. According to David C. Douglas, the Ely Inquiry was the product of an ecclesiastical landlord using the Domesday survey to produce a record of his own estates – something supported by the way it records the lands of one tenant-in-chief across ""many"" different Domesday circuits.

The first was carried out for King Henry I in ""c"". 1110 (1103 x 1115) and covered the royal holdings in Winchester, describing conditions before and after the Conquest.

"William ordered the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey of the entire population and their lands and property for tax purposes, which reveals that within 20 years of the conquest the English ruling class had been almost entirely dispossessed and replaced by Norman landholders, who monopolised all senior positions in the government and the Church. William and his nobles spoke and conducted court in Norman French, in both Normandy and England. The use of the Anglo-Norman language by the aristocracy endured for centuries and left an indelible mark in the development of modern English. Upon being crowned, on Christmas"

The ""Domesday Book"" initiated by William I of England in 1086 was a government survey on all the administrative counties of England; it was used to assess the properties of farmsteads and landholders in order to tax them sufficiently. In the survey, numerous English castles were listed; scholars debate on exactly how many were actually referenced in the book. However, the ""Domesday Book"" does detail the fact that out of 3,558 registered houses destroyed in 112 different boroughs listed, 410 of"

That was to take place only in 1861, with the production of the first photozincographic facsimile edition of Domesday.

In the Middle Ages, the Caliphate began conducting regular censuses soon after its formation, beginning with the one ordered by the second Rashidun caliph, Umar.
