(NY: Frederick Ungar Pub. Co., 1959), p. 28: Rollo was granted Normandy in 911 by King Charles
the Simple of the Franks. Rollo "...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."married Valois, Lady Poppa de on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
