This map shows the population size and distribution of villages in Norfolk after the Norman Conquest in 1086AD.
The plotted data is an extract from the Open Domesday Book.
Total Population of the 661 Domesday Villages in 1086AD shown is 23267 This would equate to a Fyrd(national service) of approximately 1336 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.
