Rollo
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. 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. Mehr auf Wikipedia lesen
