912 in the Cathedral of Rouen. A correspondent on Prodigy states he was born about 870 in
Maer, Norway, died 927-32. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 121E-18: "Ganger Rolf, 'the
Viking' (or Rollo), banished from Norway to the Hebrides ca. 876, 890 participated in Viking

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."married Valois, Lady Poppa de on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
