To run a country you need to know how much tax you can get from the land owners and farmers.
That is what the Domesday Book is for, it is a record of who owns each parcel of land, how much is being farmed and what it is worth. It also gives the name of the former owner and how much it was worth before the invasion in 1066 for comparison.
