How was the information for the domesday book collected?

Answer 1

A few servents sent from the king would go to all of england to collect the information,they would go to the poor and the rich,they would count members of the house and also animals,the would not write it in the domesday book there and then they would take it back to the king and that is where the information would be written into the domesday book.

Answer 2

The Domesday book was carried out by William in the year 1086. He sent two officials to the 13,000 manors (or villages) through out England to compile the survey. They counted every horse, sheep, cow, pig, fishpond and every acre of every field in the whole kingdom. A second set of two officials was sent out to each village a few months later to make sure the Villeins (common people or peasants) were not lying about what they had to avoid paying high taxes to the King. Officials also took soldiers with them to use force to retrive any information if necessary . Officials would often interview the local priest in the hope that as a man of God he would disclose the truth about what his parishoners actually had.

Answer 3

The domesday book's information was collected by surveyors going around door to door asking the people to answer the questions or be killed. This is why the domesday book took such a long time to complete. Hope this helps anyone who is stuck :)
