Source: The Day of Reckoning
Averted by The Domesday Book, which is simply a land survey and census — the original meaning of "doom" is "accounting" or "reckoning," and a doomsday was the day a lord would take stock of his landholdings' production, whence the metaphorical sense of "day of reckoning, Last Judgment."
