Before then, he became an experienced Viking, visiting
Scotland and probably Ireland.[5]

Rollo divided the lands between the rivers Epte and Risle
among his chieftains, and settled with a de facto capital in Rouen. Over time, Rollos Vikings would convert from Norse paganism to Christianity and intermarried with the local Frankish women;[17] with Rollo taking Poppa of Bayeux, daughter of Berengar, the Count
of Rennes, as wife.[18] Their child, William Longsword,
and grandchild, Richard the Fearless, laid the foundations of the Duchy of Normandy in the northwest of
France. The descendants of Rollo and his men assimilated with their maternal Catholic culture and became
known as the Normans, lending their name to the region
of Normandy.[19]
Rollo is the great-great-great-grandfather of William the
Conqueror, or William I of England. Through William,
he is one of the ancestors of the present-day British royal
family, as well as an ancestor of all current European
monarchs and a great many claimants to abolished European thrones. A genetic investigation into the remains
of Rollos grandson, Richard the Fearless, and his greatgrandson, Richard the Good, has been announced, with
the intention of discerning the origins of the historic
Viking leader.[20] The "Clameur de Haro" in the Channel
Islands is, supposedly, an appeal to Rollo.

Dudo records that Rollo took Popa (or Poppa), a daughter of Berenger, Count of Rennes, as a wife and with her
had their son and Rollos heir, William. It is impossible
to verify this[21] and Douglas dismissed it.[22] Dudo also
records that Charles the Simple gave one of his daughters,
Rollo was alive but frail in 927, when his son is recorded Gisela, in marriage to Rollo, but Douglas considers this
[23]
doing homage to King Ralph. His exact death date is not in the highest degree improbable. Douglas accepts a
known, but he was certainly dead by 933 and most histo- story from an Icelandic saga that, while in Scotland, Rollo
married a Christian woman and had a daughter, Kathleen;
rians approximate the year of his demise to 928.[16]
according to the sagas, she married a Scottish King called
Beolan, and had at least a daughter called Nithbeorg, who
and Ygout < Old Norse Ingulfr / Inglfr (Old Danish Ingulf). The variant form Rollo is just a latinization of the
root Rol(l)- + Latin sux -o / -one-, after the Latin names
in -o. cf. Cicero / Cicerone and the latinized Germanic
short names in -o > -o / -on, instead of -an in Germanic
cf. Bero / Beran (see Lepelley 1516). That is the reason
why his name is Rollon in Standard French. Rollo is also
known in the documents as Radulf(us) (Old Low Franconian) (or sometimes Rodulf(us)) > French Raoul, that
is the French translation of Hrulfr > Hrlfr, according
to the Low Franconian variant form Radulf of Germanic
Rodulf / Rudolf.
