Order of Domesday Books
Welsh author Edward Marston (writing under the pen name Keith Miles) created the Domesday series, a collection of historical mystery novels centered around two compelling protagonists: Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret. These characters serve as royal commissioners working directly under William the Conqueror's authority, tasked with investigating discrepancies and irregularities that surface during the creation of the famous Domesday Book.
The series launched in 1993 with The Wolves of Savernake and ran for seven years, encompassing eleven novels before reaching its finale in 2000 with The Elephants of Norwich. The publication sequence mirrors the chronological order of events, creating a cohesive reading experience for fans following the adventures of these medieval investigators as they unravel mysteries across Norman England.
