According to Encyclopaedia Britannica:
"b. c.860, d. c.932 also called Rolf, or Rou, French Rollon, Scandinavian
rover who founded the duchy of Normandy. Making himself independent of
King Harald I of Norway, Rollo sailed off to raid Scotland, England,
Flanders, and France on pirating expeditions and, about 911, established
himself in an area along the Seine Ri ver. Charles III the Simple of
France held off his siege of Paris, battled him near Chartres, and
negotiated the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, giving him the part of
Neustria that came to be called Normandy; Rollo in return agreed to end
his brigandage. He gave his son, William I Longsword, governance of the
dukedom (927) before his death. Rollo was baptized in 912 but is said to
have died a pagan."
Some sources list his birth in 846.
