The '''Domesday Book''' is the record of the great survey ordered by [[King]] [[William I]] in 1086 to document the people and property of the lands he had conquered twenty years earlier. It was used for legal and taxation purposes until 1522. The correct pronunciation is '''DOOMSDAY'''. As such, the validity of the book is called into question by Evangelical Christians who view the book as a trap set by the [[Antichrist]]. The Domesday Book is used in this case to claim that there were [[pagans]] living in England before the introduction of [[Christianity]].
