militarily bases) settlements scattered along the western (modern day) France coast line and one Viking ruler, Rollo (
Latin for Old Norse) demanded the creation of the Duchy of Normandy, or else there will be more raids/incursions in (modern day) France. The Frankish King Charles the Simple finally agreed and granted the "kingdom of Normandy" along with nobility titles in 911 AD to the Norwegian/Danish Vikings....
fast forward to... 1066 AD one nasty Norman Duke William II, invaded England defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the battle of Hastings.......
