The Normans referred to the Domesday Book simply as "Domesday," which translates to "Day of Judgment" in Old English. This name reflects the book's comprehensive record of landholdings and resources in England, akin to a final judgment on property rights and taxation. Compiled in 1086 under William the Conqueror, it served as an essential administrative and legal document for the Norman regime.
