Herzog der Normandie
Rollo was a Viking leader who became the first ruler of Normandy in northern France after negotiating the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte with the Frankish king in 911, transforming Norse raiders into settled rulers of a permanent territory. His establishment of Normandy was significant because it marked a major transition point where Viking invaders transitioned from raiding to governing, ultimately creating a lasting political entity that would shape European history.

Rollo (altnordisch Hrólfr) (* 846; † 931 oder 932) ist der fränkisch-lateinische Name eines Wikingers, der im Jahr 911 den letzten großen Überfall der Wikinger auf das Westfrankenreich kommandierte. Die späteren altisländischen Sagas identifizieren ihn mit Göngu-Hrólfr, jedoch gilt diese Zuweisung inzwischen als unsicher. Dudo von Saint-Quentin hielt ihn für einen Dänen. Diese Aussage hat Gewicht, da sein Informant Raoul d’Ivry ein Halbbruder des Normannenherzogs Richard I. war. Zudem kam er mit einem dänischen Kontingent aus England.
