4. ‘Richard holds the land of Birmingham
‘Richard holds the land of Birmingham. There is land for six ploughs; there is one plough in the demesne (Richard’s private land). There are five villains and four cottars and two ploughs. There is a wood half a mile long and four furlongs broad. It is worth 20 shillings.’
Taken from the Domesday Book William of Normandy had made in 1086, this is a report on the village of Birmingham. At the time it was a tiny village.
On your own, answer the following questions in your book, in full sentences.
1 – What does the source tell us about what village life might have been like in Birmingham?
2 – Read the first sentence again. Do you think Richard is poor or rich? Explain your answer.
*Hint* If he is in charge of Birmingham, he was probably quite an important person.
