		Orderic Vitalis, born near Shrewsbury in 1075 and sent as a child oblate to the Norman abbey of Saint-Evroult, wrote one of the most vivid and important medieval chronicles.
		Saint-Evroult was open to all the cross-currents of a changing society, and Orderic witnessed fundamental changes in church organisation, patterns of aristocratic inheritance, attitudes towards knighthood, and Christian militancy towards non-Christians.
		It also describes the life of Orderic himself, and an appendix gives a translation of his own moving account of his life, an epilogue to the Historia.

	Hrólfr.com -- Rollo as Literary Figure
		Orderic seems more concerned to correct the record about William the Conqueror than about Rollo, but he did make a few additions into the early books and re-emphasized Rollo’s Scandinavian connection, which William of Jumieges had obscured.
		Orderic seems to agree with the epitaph inscribed in golden letters on the new tomb to which Archbishop Gerbert of Rouen placed Rollo’s body, in his new cathedral church.
		These juxtapositions of fallen empires and conquerors groaning in Hell suggest that, in his heart, Orderic believed that Rollo and his kin were writhing in Hell with their fellow world conquerors.

		William's Gesta Guillelmi II ducs Normannorum, the extant part of which covers the period between 1047 and 1068, is valuable for details of the Conqueror's life, although untrustworthy with regard to affairs in England.

		At this point, in what Orderic Vitalis describes as "a favourable breeze from the west", William moved his fleet to St.Valéry-sur-Somme, which considerably reduced the distance which the fleet would have to travel to reach England.
		It is possible that William's delay at the mouth of the Dives was actually strategic; assuming William was either privy to Tostig's plans or acting in concert with him.
		It does appear that Harold's body was unrecognisable, possibly dismembered, and had to be identified, either by the "other tokens" mentioned by Orderic Vitalis, or, by an intimate, such as his concubine, Edith 'Swanneshals' (Swan-neck).

		Orderic Vitalis, a Norman church historian, said that 'castles built by the Normans were scarcely known to the English provinces,' and so they were new to the English people.
		The development of towns in this way was, as Orderic Vitalis noted, 'new to England.'; Some castles were built in existing towns.

		Having grown up in England as a boy, Orderic was aware of William's cruelty against the English, and may well have heard a first-hand account of his death.
		There was an attempt to force the corpse and, says Orderic, "the swollen bowels burst, and an intolerable stench assailed the nostrils of the by-standers and the whole crowd." Even the frankincense and spices of the censers was not enough to mask the smell, and the rites were hurriedly concluded.
