Normandy’s name is derived from the settlement of the territory by mainly Norwegian and Danish Vikings (“Northmen”) from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and Earl Rollo of Møre, Norway. For a century and a half following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by Norman and Frankish rulers.
