| | |  Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Medieval demography - Science and art of medieval demography
The science of medieval demography is a fairly new one, but one that has received considerable attention lately, in particular with interest in the social issues of the Middle Ages in the later part of the 20th century. Most modern scholarly works today contain a section or chapter on the demographics of a particular town, region or kingdom. Because the sources traditionally used for demographics, such as marriage, birth and death records are generally not available for this period, scholars rely on other sources, which can roughly be brok ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Demography - Data and methods Demography may rely on the use of large amounts of data, including census returns and vital statistics registers, or incorporate survey data using indirect estimation techniques. The earliest modern census was carried out in United States in 1790, although several Scandinavian countires--notably Iceland and Denmark--have earlier censuses.
In many countries, particularly in the third world, reliable demographic data are still difficult to obtain; census is often equated in the minds of the people with taxation, so the people scatter wh ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Demography - The demographic transition Contrary to Malthus' predictions (though in line with his thoughts on moral restraint), natural population growth in most developed countries has diminished to close to zero, without being held in check by famine or lack of resources, as people in developed nations have shown a tendency to have fewer children. The fall in population growth has occurred despite large rises in life expectancy in these countries. This pattern of population growth, with slow (or no) growth in preindustrial societies, followed by fast growth as the society develops and industrialises, followed by slow growth again as it becom ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Demography - Important concepts Important concepts in demography include:
The crude birth rate, the annual number of live births per thousand people.
The general fertility rate, the annual number of live births per 1000 women of childbearing age (often taken to be from 15 to 49 years old, but sometimes from 15 to 44).
age-specific fertility rates, the annual number of live births per 1000 women in particular age groups (usually age 15-19, 20-24 etc.)
The crude death rate, the annual number of deaths per 10 ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Domesday Book - The Survey From the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle it is known that the planning for the survey was conducted in 1085, and from the colophon of the Book that the survey was completed in 1086. It is not known when exactly Domesday Book was compiled, but the entire work appears to have been copied out by the same person.
Each county was visited by a group of royal officers (legati), who held a public inquiry, probably in the great assembly known as the county court, which was attended by representatives of every township as well as of the local lord ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Domesday Book - Domesday Book Domesday Book is really two independent works. One, known as Little Domesday covers Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The other, Great Domesday covers the rest of England, except for lands in the north that would later become Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland and County Durham (partly because some of these lands were under Scottish control at the time). There are also no surveys of London, Winchester and some other towns. The omission of these two major cities is probably due to their size and complexity, Cumberland is missing ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Domesday Book - Purpose For the object of the survey we have three sources of information:
The passage in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which tells us why it was ordered:
"After this had the king a large meeting, and very deep consultation with his council, about this land; how it was occupied, and by what sort of men. Then sent he his men over all England into each shire; commissioning them to find out "How many hundreds of hides were in the shire, what land the king himself had, and what stock upon the land; or, what dues he ought to ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Abandoned village - United Kingdom In the United Kingdom several phases of village abandonment have occurred.
Abandoned village - Climate change.
In the early centuries of the middle ages, the population of Britain increased rapidly, this meant that farmland was in short supply, and so many villages were established upon less fertile lands. However from around 1200 onwards the climate began to become harsher (see little ice age) and villages situated upon exposed uplands or upon clay vales where the soil became waterlogged, bore the brunt of the changes. Eventually crop ...

| | | | Medieval demography: Encyclopedia II - Middle Ages - The Late Middle Ages circa 1300-1500 The 14th century witnessed a decline that began with the first economic retrenchment after the long, gently inflationary rise of a unified economy that had been under way since the 11th century. The European climate itself was worsening, after the long Medieval Warm Period, leading to the onset of the Little Ice Age. In the Black Death, large areas of Western Europe lost up to a third of their population to disease, especially in the crowded conditions of the towns, where the heart of innovations lay. The Black ...
