Altérité, pluralité et unité : le cheminement de l’identité normande au Xe siècle
Abstract
During the Middle Ages, the Normanni remain as vikings and predators they were at the 9th and 10th centuries. Around the year 1050, several texts continue giving a dark representation of theses aliens, as barbarians and conquerors. However, the perception of the Norman people has known a significant inflection at the end of 10th century, by the work of Dudo of Saint-Quentin. His De moribus, which has been written to glorify the ducal dynasty, give us a justification of their extraneity by submission to the ducal authority and ducal law as federating links of national unity.
