People didn't like the Domesday book as, who in their right mind wants to give away their money to the tax man, that was the point of the Domesday book. William the conqueror wanted to know how much tax to charge

The Domesday Book was a tax collectors list. Nobody wants to pay tax, so the only people to like it would be the king who was the primary recipient.

How many pages are there in the Domesday book?

Domesday Book is really two independent works. One, known as Little Domesday, covers Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The other, Great Domesday, covers much of the remainder of England and parts of Wales, except for lands in the north that would later become Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland and County Durham. There are also no surveys of London, Winchester and some other towns. The omission of these two major cities is probably due to their size and complexity. Most of Cumberland and Westmorland are missing because they were not conquered until some time after the survey, and County Durham is lacking as the Bishop of Durham (William de St-Calais) had the exclusive right to tax Durham; parts of the north east of England were covered by the 1183 Boldon Book, which listed those areas liable to tax by the Bishop of Durham. The omission of the other counties has not been fully explained.

Always. Well, it depends. I personally feel beheading is not good, but people seem to find people beheading other people quite all right, for some reason.


What were the causes of the second red scare after World War 2?

A U.S. propaganda campaign made communism seem like the source of all evil, instead of simply a very bad idea. When people are afraid of something they see it everywhere.
