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."
