    Rollo (Robert) was first Duke of Normandy about 911, and abdicated in 927. He was baptised in
    912 in the Cathedral of Rouen. A correspondent on Prodigy states he was born about 870 in
    Maer, Norway, died 927-32. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 121E-18: "Ganger Rolf, 'the
    Viking' (or Rollo), banished from Norway to the Hebrides ca. 876, 890 participated in Viking
    attack on Bayeux, where Count Berenger of Bayeux was killed, and his dau. Poppa captured and
    taken, 886, by Rollo (now called Count of Rouen) as his 'Danish' wife. Under Treaty of St.
    Claire, 911, rec'd the Duchy of Normandy from Charles III, 'the Simple'; d. ca. 927 (Isenburg
    says 931), bur. Notre Dame, Rouen." "The Normans in European History," Charles Homer Haskins
    (NY: Frederick Ungar Pub. Co., 1959), p. 28: Rollo was granted Normandy in 911 by King Charles
    the Simple of the Franks. Rollo "...was known in the North as Hrolf the Ganger, because he
    was so huge that no horse could carry him and he must needs gang afoot. A pirate at home, he
    was driven into exile by the anger of King Harold, whereupon he followed his trade in the
    Western Isles and in Gaul, and rose to be a great Jarl among his people."
