Notes for WEND-A-FOOT ROLF (ROLLO) OF NORMANDY:
[Rau Family.FBK.FTW]
[14495.ftw]
Later sources identify
this Hrolf with Rollo of Normandy, an extremely doubtful identification. It is
unlikely that there was any close relationship between the early dukes of
Normandy and the Orkney Jarls, and Rollo's parentage is unknown.
Here are my notes on
ROLLO, which I send in connection with a message sent
by Stewart Baldwin in
which he says he suspects I took my data from the
"ridiculously
unreliable Ancestral File" of the LDS.
As you can see, this
isn't quite right.

Fisher
Or: HROLFR the GANGER (walker), GANGE-ROLV,
ROLF, ROLLO OF NORMANDY;
andlater in life,
ROBERT; also HRO'LFR
"The central fact
of Norman history ... is ... the grant of Normandy and his
northern followers in
the year 911. ... For the actual occurences of that
year, we have only the
account of a romancing historian of a hundred years
later, reenforced here
and there by the exceedingly scanty records of the
time. The main fact is clear, namely that the
Frankish king, Charles the
Simple, granted Rollo
as a fief a considerable part, the eastern part, of
later Normandy. Apparently Rollo did homage for his fied in
feudal fashion
by placing his hands
between the hands of the king, something, we are told,
which "neither
his father, nor his grandfather, nor his great-grandfather
before him had ever
done for any man." Legend goes on
to relate, however,
that Rollo refused to
kneel and kiss the king's foot, crying out in his own
speech, "No, by
God!" and that the companion to whom he delegated the
unwelcome obligation
performed it so clumsily that he overturned the king,
to the great merriment
of the assembled Northmen. ... As to Rollo's
personality, we have
only the evidence of later Norman historians of
doubtful authority and
the Norse saga of HArold Fairhair. If,
as seems
likely, their accounts
relate to the same person, he 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.
The saga
makes him a Norwegian,
but Danish scholars have sought to prove him a Dane,
and more recently the
cudgels have been taken up for his Swedish origin. To
me the NOrwegian
theory seems on the whole the most probable, being based on
a trustworthy saga and
corroborated by other incidental evidence.
... The
important fact is that
Norway, Denmark, and even more distant Sweden, all
contributed to the
colonists who settled in Normandy under Rollo and his
successors, and the
achievements of the Normans thus become the common
heritage of the
Scandinavian race. (P) The colonization
of Normandy was, of
course, only a small
part of the work of this heroic age of Scandinavian
expansion. The great emigration from the North in the
ninth and tenth
centuries has been
explained in part by the growth of centralized government
and the consequent
departure of the independent, the turbulent, and the
untamed for new fields
of adventure; but its chief cause was doubtless that
which lies back of
colonizing movements in all ages, the growth of
population and the
need of more room. Five centuries
earlier this
land-hunger had pushed
the Germanic tribes across the Rhine and Danube and
produced the great
wandering of the peoples which destroyed the Roman
empire; and the Viking
raids were simply a later aspect of this same
*Vo"lkerwanderung*,
retarded by the outlying position of the Scandinavian
lands and by the
greater difficulty of migration by sea. For, unlike the
Goths who swept across
the map of Europe in vast curves of marching men, or
the Franks who moved
forward by slow stages of gradual settlement in their
occupation of Roman
Gaul, the Scandinavian invaders were men of the sea and
migrated in
ships."
--- Charles Homer Haskins, *The Normans in
European History*, Boston &
NY, 1915, p 26-30 passim. From p 48 & 50:
"At this point the fundamental
question forces itself
upon us, how far was Normandy affected by
Scandinavian
influences? What in race and language,
in law and custom, was
the contribution of
the north to Normandy? And the answer
must be that in
most respects the
tangible contribution was slight.
Whatever may have been
the state of affairs
in the age of colonization and settlement, by the
century which followed
the Normans had become to a surprising degree
absorbed by their
environment. ..... What, then, was the Scandinavian
contribution to the
making of Normandy if it was neither law nor speech nor
race? First and foremost, it was Normandy itself,
created as a distinct
entity by the Norman
occupation and the grant to Rollo and his followers,
without whom it would
have remained an undifferentiated part of northern
France. Next, a new
element in the population, numerically small in
proportion to the ass,
but a leaven to the whole --- quick to absorb
Frankish law and
Christian culture but retaining its northern qualities of
enterprise, of daring,
and of leadership. It is no accident
that the names
of the leaders in
early Norman movements are largely Norse.
And finally a
race of princes,
high-handed and masteful but with a talent for political
organization,
state-builders at home and abroad, who made Normandy the
strongest and most
centralized principality in France and joined to it a
kingdom beyond the
seas which became the strongest state in western Europe."
"GANGER ROLF,

not the case. For additional data on

The definitive establishment of the
Normans, to whom the country owes
its name, took place
in 911, when by the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte,
concluded between King
Charles the Simple of France and Rolf or Rollo, chief
of the Normans, the
territory comprising the town of Rouen and a few 'pagi'
situated on the
sea-coast was ceded to the latter; but the terms of the
treaty are
ill-defined, and it is consequently almost impossible to find out
the exact extent of
this territory or to know whether Brittany was at this
time made a feudal
dependency of Normandy. But the
chronicler Dudo of
Saint-Quentin's
statement that Rollo married Gisela, daughter of Charles the
Simple, must be
considered to be legendary work of Dudo of Saint-Quentin
[who?] is practically
our only authority.
Rollo died in 927 and was succeeded by
his son William ...
--- (Source ???)
"Charles [the
Simple], the son-in-law of eEward, constrained thereto by
Rollo, through a
succession of calamities, conceded to him that part of Gaul
which at present is
called Normandy. It would be tedious to
relate for how
many years, and with
what audacity, the Normans disquieted every place from
the British ocean, as
I have said, to the Tuscan sea. First
Hasten, and
then Rollo; who, born
of noble lineage among the Norwegians, though obsolete
from its extreme
antiquity, was banished, by the king's command, from his
own country, and
brought over with multitudes, who were in danger, either
from debt or
consciousness of guilt, and whom he had allured by great
expectations of
advantage. Betaking himself therefore
to piracy, after his
cruelty had raged on
every side at pleasure, he experienced a check at
Chartres. For the townspeople, relying neither on arms
nor fortifications,
piously impoored the
assistance of the blessed Virgin Mary.
The shift too
of the virgin, which
Charles the Bald displayed to the winds on the
samparts, thronged by
the garrison, after the fashion of a banner. The
enemy on seeing it
began to laught, and to direct their arrows at it. This,
however, was not done
with impunity; for presently their eyes became dim,
and they could neither
retreat nor advance. The townsmen, with
joy
perceiving this,
indulged themselves in a plentiful slaughter of them, as
far as fortune
permitted. Rollo, however, whom God
reserved for the true
faith, escaped, and
soon after gained Rouen and the neighboring cities by
force of arms, in the
year of our Lord 876, and one year before the death of
Charles the Bald,
whose grandson Lewis, as is before mentioned, vanquished
the Normans, but did
not expel them; but Charles, the brother of that Lewis,
grandson of Charles
the Bald, by his son Lewis, as I have said aboce,
repeatedly
experiencing, from unsuccessful conflicts, that fortune gave him
nothing which she took
from others, resolved, after consulting his nobility,
that it was advisable
to make a show of royal munificence, when he was
unable to repel
injury; and, in a friendly manner, sent for Rollo. He was
at this time far
advanced in years; and, consequently, easily inclined to
pacific measures. It was therefore determined by treaty, that
he should be
baptized, and hold
that country of the king as his lord.
The inbred and
untameable ferocity of
the man may well be imagined, for, on receiving this
gift, as the by
standers suggested to him, that he ought to kiss the foot of
his benefactor,
disdaining to kneel down, he seized the king's foot and
dragged it to his mouth
as he stood erect. The king falling on
his back,
the Normans began to
laugh, and the Franks to be indignant; but Rollo
apologized for his
shameful conduct, by saying that it was the custom of his
country. Thus the affair being settled, Rollo
returned to Rouen, and there
died."

the Kings of England*, c 1135,

"It is not known
when Rollo arrived in the Viking kingdom [in Normandy].
Dudo says that he took
Rouen in 877, but most historians are agreed that
Rollo probably did not
appear in Francia until the early tenth century. The
possibility exists
however, that Dudo is preserving a belief that Vikings
had been established
in the Rouen area from about this time.
Rollo is
thought to have been
Norwegian rather than Danish, and later Icelandic
sources identify him
with Hrolf the Ganger (walker), son of Ragnvald earl of
Moer, who had a career
as a Viking before settling in Francia.
He married a
Christian woman and
his son William, according to the Lament of William
Longsword, was born
overseas. (P) Nothing more in known
about the 'Treaty
of St Clair-sur-Epte'
concluded in a personal interview between Charles the
Simple and Rollo than
Dudo tells us, and he has been accused of inventing
the meeting. That a cession of territory in the Seine,
extending as far
west as the mouth of
the Seine on the coast and near the source of the Eure
inland is affirmed by
a charter of Charles the Simple dated 14 March 918.
..... Flodoard adds
the information that Rollo received baptism and the
Frankish name Robert
with the cession of this territory. (P)
Rollo seems to
have been made a count
in 911, with the traditional duties assigned to a
Carolingian count,
namely, protection and the administration of justice. He
was certainly
subordinate to the Frankish king. With
the proliferation of
titles accorded the
leader of the Normandy Vikings in later sources, some
historians hace
suggested that Rollo was made a duke, but Werner has argued
that there was no
Norman *marchio* before 950-6, and no duke before
987-1006, that is,
after Hugh Capet had gained the throne of France. .....
(P) Rollo appears to
have received his territory on similar terms as the
Bretons had received the
Cotentin, except that the bishoprics were also
ceded. ..... In
exchange, Rollo was to defend the Seine from other Vikings,
accept baptism and
become the *fidelis* of the Frankish king.
That there
were other groups of
Vikings in the region, particularly in the western part
of Normandy, is
clear. The west stayed pagan longer; it
was a century
before a bishop was
appointed to the Cotnetin. ..... (P) The arrangement
made in 911 proved
successful ..... The area of Normandy by 933 corresponded
to the area of the
archdiocese of Rouen, with the seven *civitates* of
Rouen, Bayeux, Avranches, Evreux, See's, Lisieux and Coutances. The
fortunes of the
bishops of Rouen and of the (principes* of Normandy were in
fact closely
associated from the very beginning."

The wife of William III
(Towhead) was called Adela in his own charters (942 & 962). The Norman
chroniclers Dudo of St.Quentin and William of Jumieges in the 11th century, say
that Rollo had by Popa daughter of Berenger his son William Longsword and a
daughter called Gerloc, who William III later married. I think a French
historian suggested that Gerloc = Adela. (this is from William of Jumieges: I
think Dudo has roughly the same thing).
Ademar of Chabannes in III, 23 actually say that Ebles (manzer) married
Adela daughter of Roso/Rollo
and begat William
Towhead from that marriage. He seems to have been quite confused about this,
for in an earlier version of his work (the 'H' text) he says that Ramnulf II
(Ebles father) married 'Adelina daughter of Ruin' (=Rollo).

Ademar of Chabannes in III, 23 actually say that Ebles (manzer) married
Adela daughter of Roso/Rollo
and begat William
Towhead from that marriage. He seems to have been quite confused about this,
for in an earlier version of his work (the 'H' text) he says that Ramnulf II
(Ebles father) married 'Adelina daughter of Ruin' (=Rollo).

Robert contributed to
the restoration of Henry King of France to his throne,
and received from the gratitude of that
monarch, the Vexin, as an additional
to his patrimonial domains. In the 8th
year of his reign, curiosity or devotn
induced him to undertake a pilgrimage to
the Holy Land, where the fatiges of
the journey and the heat of the climate
so impaired his consitution he died
on his way home.
Some sources call him Robert I the
Magnificent!
