Excerpt from The Early History of Oxford, 727-1100: Preceded by a Sketch of the Mythical Origin of the City and University At the very close of his reign, however, came the Domesday Survey. This was thought to be worthy of a chapter to itself, and it is treated somewhat fully, as it provides the data upon which it has been attempted to base a description of Oxford at this time. Advantage has also been taken of this separate chapter to refer to such details respecting the plan and condition of the town or existing remains of buildings which did not fall so readily under the historical narrative in the previous chapter; and also, since the Survey introduces many names of note amongst the holders of mansions in Oxford, it has not been thought out of place to introduce here and there such remarks as tend to show in what way the data, afforded in the Oxford Domesday, illustrate the general history of the confiscation and distribution of the land throughout the country by William the Conqueror. This then forms Chapter XI, and with that chapter it has been thought well to bring to a close this contribution to the Early History of Oxford. The reign of William Rufus is a blank as regards Oxford, and all the light which is thrown upon it comes from the Domesday Survey, or from documents which have been introduced in illustration of it; so that this chapter may be said to bring down the history of Oxford to the close of the eleventh century.
