Then sent he his men over all England into each shire; commissioning them to find out 'How many hundreds of <a href="/wiki/Hide_(unit)" title="Hide (unit)">hides</a> were in the shire, what land the king himself had, and what stock upon the land; or, what dues he ought to have by the year from the shire.' Also he commissioned them to record in writing, 'How much land his archbishops had, and his diocesan bishops, and his abbots, and his earls;' and though I may be prolix and tedious, 'What, or how much, each man had, who was an occupier of land in England, either in land or in stock, and how much money it was worth.' So very narrowly, indeed, did he commission them to trace it out, that there was not one single hide, nor a yard of land, nay, moreover (it is shameful to tell, though he thought it no shame to do it), not even an ox, nor a cow, nor a swine was there left, that was not set down in his writ. And all the recorded particulars were afterwards brought to him.</p></blockquote> <ul><li>The list of questions asked of the jurors was recorded in the <i><a href="/wiki/Ely_Inquiry" title="Ely Inquiry">Inquisitio Eliensis</a></i>.</li> <li>The contents of Domesday Book and the allied records mentioned above.</li></ul> <p>The primary purpose of the survey was to ascertain and record the fiscal rights of the king. These were mainly: </p> <ul><li>the national land-tax (<i>geldum</i>), paid on a fixed assessment;</li> <li>certain miscellaneous dues; and</li> <li>the proceeds of the crown lands.</li></ul> <p>After a great political convulsion such as the Norman Conquest, and the following wholesale confiscation of landed estates, William needed to reassert that the rights of the Crown, which he claimed to have inherited, had not suffered in the process. His Norman followers tended to evade the liabilities of their English predecessors. Historians believe the survey was to aid William in establishing certainty and a definitive reference point as to property holdings across the nation, in case such evidence was needed in disputes over Crown ownership.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Domesday survey, therefore, recorded the names of the new holders of lands and the assessments on which their tax was to be paid. But it did more than this; by the king's instructions, it endeavoured to make a national valuation list, estimating the annual value of all the land in the country, (1) at the time of <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor" title="Edward the Confessor">Edward the Confessor</a>'s death, (2) when the new owners received it, (3) at the time of the survey, and further, it reckoned, by command, the potential value as well. It is evident that William desired to know the financial resources of his kingdom, and it is probable that he wished to compare them with the existing assessment, which was one of considerable antiquity, though there are traces that it had been occasionally modified. The great bulk of Domesday Book is devoted to the somewhat arid details of the assessment and valuation of rural estates, which were as yet the only important source of national wealth. After stating the assessment of the <a href="/wiki/Manorialism" title="Manorialism">manor</a>, the record sets forth the amount of <a href="/wiki/Arable_land" title="Arable land">arable land</a>, and the number of plough teams (each reckoned at eight oxen) available for working it, with the additional number (if any) that might be employed; then the river-meadows, woodland, pasture, fisheries (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Fishing_weir" title="Fishing weir">fishing weirs</a>), <a href="/wiki/Watermill" title="Watermill">water-mills</a>, <a href="/wiki/Salt_evaporation_pond" title="Salt evaporation pond">salt-pans</a> (if by the sea), and other subsidiary sources of revenue; the peasants are enumerated in their several classes; and finally the annual value of the whole, past and present, is roughly estimated. </p><p>The organisation of the returns on a feudal basis, enabled the Conqueror and his officers to see the extent of a baron's possessions; and it also showed to what extent he had under-tenants and the identities of the under-tenants. This was of great importance to William, not only for military reasons but also because of his resolve to command the personal loyalty of the under-tenants (though the "men" of their lords) by making them swear allegiance to him. As Domesday Book normally records only the Christian name of an under-tenant, it is not possible to search for the surnames of families claiming a Norman origin. Scholars, however, have worked to identify the under-tenants, most of whom have foreign Christian names. </p><p>The survey provided the King with information on potential sources of funds when he needed to raise money. It includes sources of income but not expenses, such as castles, unless they needed to be included to explain discrepancies between pre-and post-Conquest holdings of individuals. Typically, this happened in a town, where separately-recorded properties had been demolished to make way for a castle. </p><p>Early British authors thought that the motivation behind the Survey was to put into William's power the lands, so that all private property in land came only from the grant of King William, by lawful forfeiture.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The use of the word <i>antecessor</i> in the Domesday Book is used for the former holders of the lands under <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor" title="Edward the Confessor">Edward</a>, and who had been dispossessed by their new owners.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Subsequent_history">Subsequent history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Domesday_Book&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Subsequent history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Domesday_chest.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Domesday_chest.jpg/220px-Domesday_chest.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="258" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Domesday_chest.jpg/330px-Domesday_chest.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Domesday_chest.jpg/440px-Domesday_chest.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1362" data-file-height="1599" /></a><figcaption>The Domesday Chest, the German-style iron-bound chest of <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 1500</span> in which Domesday Book was kept in the 17th and 18th centuries</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Custodial_history">Custodial history</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Domesday_Book&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Custodial history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Domesday Book was preserved from the late 11th to the beginning of the 13th centuries in the royal <a href="/wiki/HM_Treasury" title="HM Treasury">Treasury</a> at Winchester (the Norman kings' capital).
