Narrative

[charlemegne.FTW]

Rollo of Norway = Robert Ragnvaldsson = Rolf the Granger = 1st D uke of Normandy.

Ganger Rolf, "the Viking" (or Rollo), banished from Norway to th e Hebrides ca. 876, 890 participated in Viking attack on Bayeux , where Count Berenger of Bayeux was killed , and his dau. Popp a captured and taken, 886, by Rollo (now called Count of Rouen ) as his "Danish" wife. Under Treaty of St. Claire, 911, rec'd t he Duchy of Normandy from Charles III, "the Simple" (148-17); d . ca. 927 (Isenburg says 921), bur. Notre Dame, Rouen. (Isenbur g (1976 ed.) table 36 (see note following); Onslow, The Dukes o f Normamdy, 15-46). Note Isenburg inserts a Robert between Roll o and William I, and makes Robert the conqueror of Bayeux, husb . of Poppa, and 1st Duke. Chronology favors the descent given b y Moriary and Onslow. It seems probable that Robert was anothe r name for Rollo. If there really was a Robert as 1st Duke, the n No. 23 would be Robert II, which is not the case. For addition al data on William II of Normandy and I of England the reader ma y consult David C. Douglas, William the Conqueror (1964). Beside s a daughter Gerloc (or Adela) who m. 935 William I (144A-19), C ount of Poitou, Ganger Rolf had William I, "Longsword".
