Note: Rollo, 1st DUKE OF NORMANDY (846-932) = Poppa de Valois of Normandy, Duchess of Normandy (Cite: "The Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants" by Gary Boyd Roberts, p.236 & CNIDR Isearch-cgi 1.20.06 File 272; http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifet...EN-MEDIEVAL+1998+28555707890). Rollo's Norwegian name would be Rolf or Hrolf, but this is just a "could-be" connection. Ca 50% of the scholars believe this, and ca 50% believe he was Danish.
Rolf was declared an outlaw by King Harald the Fairhaired when heapparently stole cattle in Viken to provision his ships. He then sailed off to raid England, Flanders, and France. In 911 , he established a baseon the Seine. Charles the Simple of France held off his seige of Paris, battled him near Chartres, and negotiated the treaty of St.Clair-sur-Epte, which gave him and his successors the part of Neustriathat became Normandy. Normandy was renamed after the large number of Normans, also known as Norsemen or Northmen.
