Rollon - the first Duke of Normandy (under the name Robert I), the founder of the Norman dynasty.
Rollon came from a noble Danish family and was forced to flee Denmark after the death of his father. Scandinavian sagas, first of all the "Saga of the Orkneys", testify to the Norwegian roots of the first ruler of Normandy.
According to onomastics, Rollo or Rollon is a Franco-Latin name by which one of the leaders of the Vikings, Rolf the Pedestrian, was probably known in France. He was nicknamed "The Pedestrian" because no horse could carry him, he was so big and heavy. And he was always forced to move on foot.
