Rollo of Normandy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rollo expanded his territory as far west as the Vire River and sometime around 927 he passed the Duchy of Normandy to his son, William Longsword. Rollo was a Viking leader, probably (based on Icelandic sources) from Norway, the son of Ragnvald, Earl of Moer; sagas mention a Hrolf, son of Ragnvald jarl of Moer. It is important to note that Rollo did stay true to his word of defending the shores of the Seine river in accordance to the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, but in time Rollo and his followers had very different ideas. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rollo,_Count_(or_Duke)_of_Normandy

Duke of Normandy Rollo Hrolf (Walker) Norese Charles the Simple, having exacted a vow of loyalty, bestowed on Rollo the title "Count of Rouen" and gave him the surrounding lands in 911 A.D. This brought the raids of the Vikings to an end and lead to the establishment of the Duchy of Normandy. Rollo was known as the Walker to his fellow Vikings because he was so stout he could not find a horse to carry him, although according to an alternate theory it was because his legs were so long that they touched the ground while Rollo was astride. According to some sources, Rollo was born as early as 846. worldroots.com /cgi-bin/gasteldb?@I04692@

Rollo of Normandy For the last several years, in informal discussions on the internet newsgroup soc.genealogy.medieval, I have argued against the acceptance of the Icelandic account of Rollo's origin, and much of the material presented here is a synthesis of those earlier internet postings. While many elements of the Dudo's account are clearly legendary, there appears to be no clear motive on the part of Dudo (writing less than a century after Rollo's death) to invent a younger brother for Rollo who is then immediately killed off.

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Edward Gibbon (chapter56) The bravest designs of the duke were sometimes opposed by the free voice of his parliament of barons: the twelve counts of popular election conspired against his authority; and against their perfidious uncle, the sons of Humphrey demanded justice and revenge. The twelve counts were sometimes joined in the league of injustice: in their domestic quarrels they disputed the spoils of the people: the virtues of William were buried in his grave; and Drogo, his brother and successor, was better qualified to lead the valor, than to restrain the violence, of his peers. Highly presuming that his person was sufficient for the public safety, he repassed the sea in a single brigantine, and left the remains of the army under the command of his son and the Norman counts, exhorting Bohemond to respect the freedom of his peers, and the counts to obey the authority of their leader. etext.library.adelaide.edu.au /g/gibbon/edward/g43d/chapter56.html
