Back story duke of Normandy
In the year of 911 during autumn the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte was signed between King Charles the 3 of west Francia and Rollo a viking leader. In the past year Rollo and his men had attacked Paris and had several battles with Charles and his barons. However Charles deiced to have talks with Rollo, these talks resulted in the treaty. The treaty gave Rollo the land between the river Epte and the sea and the city of Rouen "in freehold and good money". In return Rollo would protect the coast from viking attacks. Rollo also agreed to be baptized taking the Christian name Robert and married one of Charles daughters, Gisela. This is an accurate image of the lands Robert controlled in 913.
