Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate details of life in 11th-century Cambridgeshire, England, as revealed through the Domesday Book and related historical documents. It paints a vivid picture of rural society, exploring the economic realities, social hierarchy, and legal framework that governed everyday life. The author meticulously analyzes technical terms and land measures used in the Domesday records, reconstructing the landscape of villages, agricultural practices, and even the types of produce cultivated. We encounter lords and their manors, villeins working the land, and the dwindling class of sokemen caught between freedom and servitude. Beyond the rural landscape, the book examines the unique position of the borough of Cambridge, highlighting its distinct legal status and economic significance. It also sheds light on the role of the Church as a landowning corporation, offering glimpses into the lives of village priests and the impact of religious institutions on the community. By drawing on these rich historical sources, this book offers invaluable insights into a pivotal period in English history, revealing the profound transformations brought about by the Norman Conquest and the enduring legacy of this era on the social and economic fabric of Cambridgeshire.
