England in 1086 was valuable due to its wealth and resources, particularly in agriculture and trade. The Domesday Book recorded detailed information about land ownership, population, and resources, highlighting the economic importance of England at that time. Its strategic location in Europe also added to its value as a powerful kingdom.
The Domesday Book or Doomsdaybook was created by William the Conqueror in 1086. Since then it has been documenting and regulating the real estate property of England/Britain. Land ownership written down in the Doomsdaybook was regarded as factual and legitimate and could not be questioned. It also regulated the knight's individual warfare contributions and legal issues concerning property and financial obligations of communities and individuals towards the king and court. According the Doomsdaybook in 1086 there were 2 million people living in England and 50 % of all land was owned by 11 (eleven) men who all were close relatives of William I..
He knew who owned which piece of land
"Domesday" is an old form of the word "Doomsday". The Domesday book was a record of land and resources owned in England in 1085-1086. It was compiled for the purpose of levying taxes. The process was so thorough and invasive that people compared it to how they thought God would collect information for the Last Judgement, or Doomsday. Source: UK National Archives
