494. ROLLO35 6133 was born circa 860 at Scandanavia. 6134 He died in 927. 6135 According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Rollo or Rolf, was a Scandinavian rover who founded the duchy of Normandy. He made himself independent of King Harald I of Norway and sailed off to raid Scotland, England, Flanders, and France on pirating expeditions. About 911, he established himself in an area along the Seine River and attacked Paris. Charles III the Simple of France held off his siege and battled him near Chartres. They negotiated the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, giving Rollo the part of Neustria that came to be called Normandy. Rollo in return agreed to end his brigandage. He gave his son, William I Longsword, governance of the dukedom (927) before his death. Rollo was baptized in 912 but is said to have died a pagan. 6136 Children of Rollo35 include:     491.  i.   WILLIAM I34. 495. WILLIAM I35 DUKE OF NORMANDY (Rollo, #494) (see #491)
