The Domesday Book, compiled in 1086, recorded a comprehensive survey of landholdings in England. The questions asked included details about the ownership of land, the number of tenants, the amount of land, the types of crops grown, livestock counts, and the value of the land. It also inquired about resources like mills and fisheries, as well as the obligations of the tenants to their lords. This extensive information was used to assess taxes and feudal obligations.
