Summary
Chapter 5 “Conclusion”: Dudo writes in the early eleventh century of a dream by the first Norman leader Rollo (c.860–c. 932). He interprets the dream as predicting that Rollo will bring many peoples together under a single Christian realm. I explain how, like Rollo, the later Normans expressed this dream by creating a visual culture that relies on the cumulative effect of a diverse vocabulary for a powerful message of authority.
