Delve into how medieval England measured land and value. This volume presents the papers from the 1886 Domesday Commemoration, offering clear analysis of Domesday land measures and their practical use in taxation and holding. Readings explore how units like the hide, carucate, and solin relate to real land areas, and how these measures were divided and applied across counties.
- Plain explanations of the key units: hide, carucate, solin, and their areal counterparts
- How virgates and bovates fit into the Domesday system and why divisions differ
- The debate over whether the hide was a fixed area or a unit of assessment
- Appendix notes and discussions that illuminate the methods and sources behind the scholarship
Ideal for readers of medieval English law, land history, and constitutional study, as well as students and researchers seeking a clear entry into Domesday measures and their significance.
