Rollo is often regarded as one of the first significant Viking leaders in history, particularly known for establishing the Duchy of Normandy in the early 10th century. However, he was not the very first Viking leader, as there were earlier chieftains and leaders, such as Ragnar Lothbrok, who played pivotal roles in Viking raids and settlements. Rollo's importance lies in his consolidation of power and the eventual integration of Norse culture into the regions he governed.
Rollo of Normandy was a Viking. The better question is this: When did Rollo the Viking become Rollo of Normandy? Normandy was the title of the land granted to Rollo and his raiders after they threatened to sack Paris. The king of France, out of fear, gave the Viking raiders a piece of land on the northern coasts (called Nova Britannia at the time) that would later be called Normandy. Normandy means "Land of the North (or Norse) Man," i.e., the Vikings. Hope this helps!

The Viking leader Rollo, or Robert of Normandy, was given Normandy as a fief by Charles the Simple in 911.

Yes, Rollo, the Viking leader, famously refused to bend down to kiss the foot of King Charles the Simple of France, as part of the feudal homage ritual. This act was significant because it symbolized Rollo's defiance and assertion of his power. Instead, he offered to kiss the king's cheek, highlighting his status as a powerful figure in his own right. This moment is often interpreted as a reflection of Rollo's desire to maintain his dignity and authority while negotiating his place within the established order.
