A panel of medieval historians review selected aspects of Norman identity, image and culture at the heart of the Conquest and the subsequent making of ‘Norman England’. The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the great icons of the Norman Conquest, but why was it created? What messages did it convey, and to whom? Similarly, Domesday Book; what role did this record, and the inquest that produced it, play in the creation of Norman England? How did the Normans see themselves and their achievements in England and Normandy? What questions does the representation of architectural features in Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman painting and drawing pose about the ‘Normanness’ of Norman architecture?
