William the Conqueror commissioned the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of England, to assess the lands and resources of the country. The Domesday Book was completed in 1086 and provided detailed information on the wealth and ownership of property in England at that time.
The Domesday survey was carried out by officials sent by William the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The survey was completed in 1086 and served as a comprehensive record of land ownership and resources in England at the time.
The starting point for a land survey in a country is typically a designated benchmark or reference point, often established by the national mapping agency. This benchmark serves as the origin for all subsequent survey measurements and helps ensure consistency and accuracy in mapping data.
King William the Conqueror commissioned The Domesday Book to record the total holdings of his kingdom and their respective values. This Great Survey was the first complete record of property distribution in the British Isles.
Villagers who refused to take part in the Domesday survey risked harsh consequences such as fines, confiscation of property, or even imprisonment. The survey was a comprehensive inventory commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1085 to assess landownership and wealth in England. Participation was mandatory under the threat of severe penalties.
The word is spelled "survey."

He was using a telescope to survey the sky.
