Winton Domesday

The Winton Domesday or Liber Winton is a 12th-century English administrative document recording the landholdings in the city of Winchester together with their tenants and the rents and services due from them. The city was not included in the surveys that produced Domesday Book in 1086. The manuscript brings together the returns from two different "satellite" surveys. The first was carried out for King Henry I in c. 1110 (1103 x 1115) and covered the royal holdings in Winchester, describing conditions before and after the Conquest. This part also draws on an earlier survey, now lost, made in c. 1057, during the reign of Edward the Confessor. The second survey, which covered the entire town, was done for Bishop Henry of Blois in 1148.

gollark: You could complain that this is due to indoctrination of some sort by... someone, and maybe this is true (EDIT: but you could probably just change that and it would be easier than reworking the entire economy). But you can quite easily see examples of people just not actually caring about hardships far away, and I think this is a thing throughout history.
gollark: What I'm saying is that, despite some problems, our market system is pretty effective at making the things people involved in it want. And most people do not *actually* want to help people elsewhere much if it comes at cost to them.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Economy" means "any sort of system which coordinates production/allocates resources".
gollark: Now, part of that is probably that you can't really trust whoever is asking to use those resources properly, and that's fair. But there are now things for comparing the effectiveness of different charities and whatnot.
