The Third Army, commanded by General George S. Patton, did not land at Normandy during the initial D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Instead, it was the 1st Army that conducted the landings at Normandy. The Third Army was activated and began its operations in the region shortly after, entering combat in mid-July 1944, after the breakout from the Normandy beachhead.
Normandy was conquered by the Vikings. It's called Normandy because it means "land of the Northmen".
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!
duke William of Normandy.
The defending army was the Saxon army led by Harold Godwinson, the attacking army was the Norman army lead by Duke William of Normandy, later to be called William the Conquerer.
William first landed just outside of hastings, in Pevensey. William and his army spent 18 days there waiting for Harold Godwinson before the Battle of Hastings.
