ISBN: 9780198208471 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Domesday Book is the oldest and most precious of the public records, but historians still disagree on its purpose. In arguing that the writing of Domesday Book was no part of the Domesday survey, this book proposed a solution to a riddle that will change our perception of the Norman Conquest and Norman kingship.

Decoding Domesday
ISBN: 9781783270194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Domesday Book is one of our major sources for a crucial period of English history; yet it remains difficult to interpret. This provocative new book proposes a complete re-assessment, with profound implications for our understanding of the society and economy of medieval England. In particular, it overturns the general assumption that the Domesday inquest was a comprehensive survey of lords and their lands, and so tells us about the economic underpinning of power in the late eleventh century; rather, it suggests that in 1086 matters of taxation and service were at issue and data were...

Wallingford: The Castle and the Town in Context
ISBN: 9781407314181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Medieval castles are, as Professor Liddiard states in his Foreword to this volume, 'evocative monuments and perhaps more than any other building capture the ideals of the Middle Ages.' This idealization and romanticism of castles, however, can often obscure their histories as functioning dwellings, fortresses, and political and social centres. Wallingford Castle in Oxfordshire is a prime example of a structure with a rich history. Its importance lies in its strategic position on the Thames, allowing it to serve as a vital stronghold during conflicts and a royal residence in more peaceful...

Domesday Now: New Approaches to the Inquest and the Book
ISBN: 9781783270880 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Compiled from the records of a survey of the kingdom of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1085, Domesday Book is a key source for the history of England. However, there has never been a critical edition of the text and so, despite over 200 years of intense academic study, its evidence has rarely been exploited to the full. The essays in this volume seek to realize the potential of Domesday Book by focussing on the manuscript itself. There are analyses of abbreviations, letter forms, and language; re-assessments of key sources, the role of tenants-in-chief in producing them, and...
