Domesday Book Illustrated: Containing An Account Of That Antient Record; As Also, Of The Tenants In Capite Or Serjanty Therein Mentioned: And A ... And Names Of Foreign Abbies: And - Softcover
Synopsis
Behind the Domesday survey lies a living map of conquest, obligation, and power. Its pages bridge nine centuries. In Domesday Book Illustrated, legal antiquary Robert Kelham opens that world of 11th century England, turning a forbidding Latin record into a clear medieval history reference. With vivid detail, he explains how post-Conquest Norman England organised land, tax, and justice, creating a domesday book translation that helps readers trace people, places, and property through one of the most important medieval English land records. Structured as an illustrated historical survey and legal history reference guide, Kelham sets out the origins and authority of the Domesday inquest, then walks carefully through its terminology and practice. He identifies the tenants in capite or serjanty, unpicks obscure formulas, offers translations of difficult passages, and provides an explanation of technical terms, abbreviations, and the names of foreign abbies. For researchers in Norman feudal landholding, medieval administration, or English medieval genealogy, this annotated primary source becomes a lucid genealogical research resource and a practical illustrated Domesday Book guide with enduring value to scholars. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Domesday Book Illustrated appeals to general readers of medieval history, students of law, and specialists in 11th century England. It also belongs on the shelves of anyone building a serious library of classic historical scholarship, legal antiquities, or enduring works on medieval English land records.
