Description

The Domesday Book and the Law offers a groundbreaking legal interpretation of one of England's most significant historical documents. This Cambridge University Press publication argues that the Domesday Book should be read primarily as a legal text rather than merely a statistical survey. The work examines the comprehensive legal material contained within the 1086 inquest, drawing directly from testimony given by jurors and sworn statements of lords and their men. By stripping away the statistical information and focusing on the legal content, the book reveals what early medieval English law actually looked like in practice. Scholars, historians, and students of medieval legal systems will find this analysis essential for understanding how law functioned in Norman England and the foundations of English legal tradition before the rise of the common law.
