Domesday Book. A Complete Set of 35 Volumes. - (Book - Amazon.com) :900 years ago--in 1086--William the Conqueror launched the greatDomesday Survey of England to ascertain the extent and value of hisnewly acquired lands. Commissioners were sent to every county todiscover the names of landowners and their tenants, as well as thosewho had owned land in the time of Edward the Confessor (d. 1066), theextent of the cultivated territory, and the value of land, plows, andlivestock. Since this was accepted as the final authoritative registerof rightful possession, people called it Domesday Book, by analogywith the Day of Judgment.
This is considered to be one of the most important books ever written.

Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland
X. The Vikings and Normans
The Vikings and Normans are ethnically linked because of their commondescent from the Norwegian group of Viking raiders and settlers of theninth to eleventh centuries. The Vikings per se came directly toIreland and Scotland during this period, and in Ireland theyestablished the first towns as coastal trading centers, as merchantactivity was a natural second stage to their original ferocious navalraiding. They became completely Gaelicized. The twelfth centurybrought Anglo-Norman settlers to Scotland, and Anglo-Norman invadersto Ireland. The Normans first appear as mixed Danish and Norwegiansettlers in tenth-century Normandy, a province of France which theseVikings wrested from the French and made a dukedom, and from whichprovince they subsequently invaded England in 1066. Their originalintroduction into the Frankish and Gallo-Roman world in Normandychanged military technology forever, for these acculturated Vikings,afterwards known as Normans, swept forward from Normandy into Englandand later Gaeldom with "Mote and Bailey" castles (where the Gaels hadraided, exacted tribute and then gone back to their own territory, theNormans confounded the Irish by actually squatting on the invaded landwith castles, thus physically denying it to its erstwhile owners). TheNormans also utilized disciplined and armored Frankish-style cavalry,thus introducing the mounted knight. They invaded both England andIreland with similar success, though in the Gaelic area they wereinfluenced as much as they influenced.
