   Why is it called a 'Domesday Book'?

   • The name "Domesday Book" came into use in the 12th century. Richard FitzNeal wrote in the Dialogus de Scaccario (c. 1179) that the book was so called because its decisions were unalterable, like those of the Last Judgment, and its sentence could not be quashed. The manuscript is held at the National Archives at Kew, London.
