Rollo was one of the most successful Vikings in history and through him every cutrebt European monarch is descended. For years Rollo and his men plundered through Francia. Instability and infighting amongst the Franks allowed Rollo to largely go unckecked- Rollo was able to grow his army with new recruits and the riches continued to pour in. Until in 911 AD Rollo atrempted to lay seige on Paris and then later in the year a place called Chatres. On July 20, 911 they were met in battle and defeated. The King in West Francia at the time, Charles the Simple- was at a crossroads. Rollo had been raiding since he was 15 years old, now around 50 he was powerful, tried, true and seasoned. Charles decided he would make a deal with Rollo. He would have to pledge allegiance to Charles and help defend the land against other Vikings and in return he would get land. There was one further caveat: Rollo and his entire army had to convert to Christianity. Rollo the Viking warrior was baptized and became Robert, Count of Rouen and the Ruler of Normandy. Rollo lived a long life and could possibly have been around 60 or older when he died. He is buried in Rouen Cathedral in Normandy, France. #vikings #rollo #vikingtok #viking #historytime #ragnarlothbrok #historytok #assasinscreed
