Question 35

William ordered a great survey of who held land in England. In which record were its findings written down?

  1. Magna Carta
  2. The Treaty of Verdun
  3. The Code of Justinian
  4. The Domesday BookBonne réponse

Explication

The survey was made so that the new king would know what land there was, who held it and what it was worth, and the returns were gathered into a single volume kept by the crown. The great charter is the tempting alternative, because both are famous English documents, but that one is an agreement limiting royal power and was drawn up more than a century afterwards.
