Actually it's the Domesday Book, named after the Bishop charged with it's creation. Started in about 1070, four years after the Battle of Hastings, it was a record of assets available for taxation. Never finished, the authors lost interest after William got blasted in the cojones by a wooden saddle horn in about 1070, whereby he died from septic infection of the nethers. Ultimate Crotch Rot. In British Law, if your family is mentioned in the Domesday, you have the ultimate "Grandfather" clause in any estate or inheritance questions. The World's first census for tax purposes.

His predececeased, King Harold, fell in battle via an arrow in the eye. His successor, Rufus, was shot thru the the body by an arrow during a hunting "accident". Played rough in those days.
