	Rollo of Normandy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The matter of Rollo's Norwegian or Danish origins was a matter of heated dispute between Norwegian and Danish historians of the 19th and early 20th century, particularly in the run-up to Normandy's 1000-year-anniversary in 1911.
		In 885, Rollo was one of the lesser leaders of the Viking fleet which besieged Paris under Sigfred.

	Hrólfr.com -- a Rollo of Normandy homepage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rollo of Normandy holds a particular fascination for me as an example of somebody who left virtually no trace on the historical record, and yet around whom a vast body of legend arose during the two centuries after his own.
		This is no doubt due to the retroactive magnitude of his accomplishments; although the Rollonid Principality upon Rollo’s death must have seemed ephemeral, within a century it had become Normandy, and the origin of so great a nation needed to be explained in terms of the greatness of its founder.
		Thus, “our” Rollo was born; not an unrepentant pagan adventurer who somehow managed to gain sway over the Viking population of a Frankish city, but a noble Christian (more or less) who single-handedly built a Frankish principality.
