Rollo (also called Rolf or Rou; sometimes spelled Hrolf; in French, Rollon; known as "the walker" or "Gangler" or Ganger; sometimes called Robert and sometimes known as Rollo the Viking) was the Scandinavian raider who founded the French duchy of Normandy.
Leaving Norway to embark on pirating expeditions and raid England, Scotland, and Flanders, Rollo headed into France around 911 and settled along the Seine, besieging Paris. Charles III (the Simple) of France was able to hold Rollo off for a while, but he eventually negotiated a treaty to stop him. The treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte gave Rollo part of Nuestria in return for his agreement that he and his fellow Vikings would stop pillaging any further in France.
Because the region was settled by Northmen or "Normans," the territory took on the name "Normandy," and Rouen became its capital. Before Rollo died he turned over the governance of the duchy to his son, William I (Longsword).

Although the price at the pump has gone down, now that the handwriting on the wall tells the major oil companies that their profit taking is about over, take a look at the cost of deisel fuel. The shipping costs have not gone down for that reason. We all look forward to the day when they do. However, we will continue to offer free shipping on certain orders.
