Doom book
The Doom Book, Code of Alfred or Legal Code of Ælfred the Great was the code of laws ("dooms," laws or judgments) compiled by Alfred the Great (c. 893 AD) from three prior Saxon codes, to which he prefixed the Ten Commandments of Moses and incorporated rules of life from the Mosaic Code and the Christian code of ethics. The law code also contained laws that may seem bizarre by modern standards, such as: 'If a man unintentionally kills another man by letting a tree fall on him, the tree shall be given to the kinsmen of the slain.
