Rollo's Saga

Rollo's Saga refers to the historical journey of Rollo, a Scandinavian Viking leader, who in the early 10th century led raids into France. Recognizing the threat, the French king granted Rollo land (what became Normandy) in exchange for loyalty and defense against other Vikings. Rollo settled there, establishing a powerful duchy, and eventually converted to Christianity. His descendants expanded Normandy’s influence, shaping the region’s culture and politics. The saga highlights themes of conquest, diplomacy, and cultural integration, illustrating how a Viking leader transformed into a European noble, laying foundations for medieval France’s northern territories.
