How successful was King William controlling England after 1066?
William the Conqueror was a good leader and a bad leader at the same time. He was good for many ways including the feudal system and the domesday book. The feudal system was very helpful, this was just the way William dealt out land. The Domesday book was a survey, but not an ordinary survey, it stored information about different villages and how much tax they owed to the King. William, on the other hand, would go to villages, burn everything down and rape all of the female inhabitants. All in all William was not a perfect leader, but he was a good one at least. I hoped this helped, Yours sincerely, Anonymous.

Why was the domesday book called the Winchester book?
Because it was at first kept secure in the royal treasury at Winchester. After the many Norman inspectors travelled around the country collecting the information they all gathered at Winchester, where the data was collated and written out by just one scribe. It made sense for the information to then be stored at Winchester. Strangely, Winchester itself was, like London, not included in the survey.

What did the Normans do after they invaded briton?
They beat the Anglo-Saxon army at Hastings in 1066 and William, Duke of Normandy was proclaimed King. The Normans built many churches and castles and were responsible for the Domesday Book of 1086 which listed all the towns, villages, hamlets and farms which were in existence at that time. The book is still in existence and is a great insight for historians as to the way things were in England nearly 1000 years ago.
How many pages are there in the Domesday book?
Domesday Book is really two independent works. One, known as Little Domesday, covers Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The other, Great Domesday, covers much of the remainder of England and parts of Wales, except for lands in the north that would later become Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland and County Durham. There are also no surveys of London, Winchester and some other towns. The omission of these two major cities is probably due to their size and complexity. Most of Cumberland and Westmorland are missing because they were not conquered until some time after the survey, and County Durham is lacking as the Bishop of Durham (William de St-Calais) had the exclusive right to tax Durham; parts of the north east of England were covered by the 1183 Boldon Book, which listed those areas liable to tax by the Bishop of Durham. The omission of the other counties has not been fully explained.
