Duke of Normandy 911-932. Rollo was sometimes referred to as Rolf. Accordi ng to some sources, Rollo was born as early as 846. A Norwegian chieftai n, Rollo became the *first Norman* when he and his followers settled in the lower Seine area in about 911. At that time, he received the Duchy of Normandy from Charles III of France. Rollo was known as the Walker to his f ellow Vikings because he was so stout he could not find a horse to carry him, although according to an alternate theory it was because his legs were so long that they touched the ground while Rollo was astride. Source: RoyaList. The Viking chieftain Rollo, a.k.a. Gangr Hrolfr or Rolf the Ganger and probably the son of Rognvald, Earl of Møre in Norway, controlled the mouth of river Seine in France. Charles the Simple, having exacted a vow of loyalty, bestowed on Rollo the title "Count of Rouen" and gave him the surrounding lands in 911 A.D. This brought the raids of the Vikings to an end and lead to the establishment of the Duchy of Normandy. Fr om this the Vikings turned to a "pay, and we shall keep the peace" poli cy it seems. Adding up all figures cited in the Frankish sources, we find that they paid the Vikings 310 kilograms of gold, and 19.5 tons of silv er. (From *The Viking Age* by Christine & Tom Bjørnstad).
