Sign in to saveThe Normans (Norman: Normaunds; ; ) were a population arising in the medieval Duchy of Normandy from the intermingling between Norse Viking settlers and locals of West Francia. The Norse settlements in West Francia followed a series of raids on the French northern coast mainly from what is now Denmark, although some also sailed from Norway and Sweden. These settlements were finally legitimized when Rollo, a Scandinavian Viking leader, agreed to swear fealty to King Charles III of West Francia following the siege of Chartres in 911, leading to the formation of the County of Rouen. This new fief
The Normans were a medieval people who emerged in Normandy through the mixing of Norse Viking settlers and local West Frankish inhabitants, beginning after Viking raids on the northern French coast in the ninth century. Their emergence as an established group was formalized in 911 when the Viking leader Rollo pledged allegiance to the West Frankish king, creating the foundation for the County of Rouen and a new cultural and political entity that would shape European history.
