Excerpt from Composition of Scientific Words: A Manual of Methods and a Lexicon of Materials for the Practice of Logotechnics The successors of Canute were weak and the line came to an end. In the meantime England again found invaders on her shores. These were the Normans, originally Scandinavians or Northmen, now from Normandy in France where they had come under Roman in uence. At first the relations between the two peoples were peaceful, but then came a. Contest for the throne that culminated in the Battle of Hastings (1066) in which William the Conqueror defeated Harold and became king of England. Shortly after the battle William erected Battle Abbey on the site of the con ict and supposedly placed therein a roll containing the names of his followers from Normandy. The authenticity of this Battle Abbey Roll has been questioned in recent years, but is, nevertheless, considered a source of information concerning the surnames current among the Normans and introduced into England at that time. Later in his reign William ordered a complete census of all England to be made. The result was the Domesday Book, which also 18 a treasury of informa tion about personal names and in many instances has been the ultimate resort in settling property disputes.
