Could anyone one who's familiar with the subjects suggest any good books on both the Norman Conquest of England and on the Doomsday Book?

I just finished reading "The Norman Conquest: The Battle of Hastings and the Fall of Anglo-Saxon England by Marc Morris. I highly enjoyed it, he does a good job of looking at all the available sources and interpolating what most likely happened from all of them. I haven't read any books specifically about the Domesday Boom, but Morris' book has a pretty good chapter on it, although it's mostly about the change in property values and figuring out where armies moved based on value changes rather than on the writing of the book itself.

If you want a copy of the Domesday book though, I have this edition and like it a lot. It's almost completely the Book however, the introduction is just a page so it's not a lot of info on Domesday itself.

Hope that's helpful!
