This map shows the population size and distribution of villages in Gloucestershire after the Norman Conquest in 1086AD.
The plotted data is an extract from the Open Domesday Book.
Many thanks to the works of Professor John Palmer, George Slater and opendomesday.org without whose contribution this site could not have been created.
Total Population(ex slaves) of the 417 Domesday Villages in 1086AD shown is 18485
This would equate to a Fyrd(national service) of approximately 1109 soldiers.
Please Note that the estimate for the Fyrd is based on 6% of the
population(excluding Priests and Slaves) being eligible for military duties.
