Subtopic

What happened

After all of it had been collected, and sent to Winchester where all of it was written down and put into a book called "the domesday book"

The problem was, most people in England didn't understand what Williams men were asking. People called it strange and frightening.

At Christmas 1085, William sent his men to survey the land by asking every person/each farming unit a couple of questions.

The Manor

Villeins

Beneath Villeins were "cottars", people that had little or no land to farm and weren't allowed to leave the Manor.

They had land to farm but were not allowed to leave the Manor.

Also known as "serfs"

All peasants lived on/in or worked in a manor.

A manor can also contain more then one village or maybe even half a village.

No one manor is the same as another manor because of the geography of the land.

A farming unit was called a "manor", which was made up of fields, crops, woods, meadows and a village.

At the time of the Domesday book, almost all English people lived in the country side.

Reasons Why

He wanted to be able to collect more taxes.

He thought that some of his Barons owned land that really the church or him owned.

He feared another Viking invasion, so he wanted to known where he could put his soldiers.
