Long Answer
1. The prophecy is that the entire family—not just Manfred—will meet an unfortunate fate and that their lineage will not continue to rule. Matilda’s death, which ensures that there is no one left to carry on Manfred’s lineage, is a part of the fulfillment of this prophecy. (Various chapters)
2. The prophecy is revealed to Manfred in a dream, and it is this prophecy that motivates most of his actions throughout the novel. Similarly, a dream reveals to Frederic that his daughter is in danger and prompts most of his actions, such as coming to Otranto and retrieving the sword. (Various chapters)
