Notizen zu dieser Person
Rollo was sometimes referred to as Rolf. According to some sources, Rollo was born as early as 846. A Norwegian chieftain, Rollo became thefirst Norman when he and his followers settled in the lower Seine areain about 911. At that time, he received the Duchy of Normandy from Charles III of France. 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 solong that they touched the ground while Rollo was astride. Source: RoyaList. The Viking chieftain Rollo, a.k.a. Gangr Hrolfr or Rolf the Ganger and probably the son of Rognvald, Earl of Møre in Norway, controlled the mouth of river Seine in France. Charles the Simple, having exacted a vow of loyalty, bestowed on Rollothe title "Count of Rouen" and gave him the surrounding lands in 911A.D. This brought the raids of the Vikings to an end and lead to the establishment of the Duchy of Normandy. From this the Vikings turned toa "pay, and we shall keep the peace" policy it seems. Adding up all figures cited in the Frankish sources, we find that theypaid the Vikings 310 kilograms of gold, and 19.5 tons of silver. (From The Viking Age by Christine & Tom Bjørnstad).
