Lord of Rouen

by Griff Hosker Book 8 in the Norman Genesis series.

Amazon
4.5(1,325)

Rollo Ragnvaldsson has rescued his grandfather Hrolf the Horseman, but returning to Norway offers no lasting future for his people. He must lead them away from old enemies and search for land that can support a permanent settlement rather than another temporary refuge.

Fighting Saxons and Bretons brings Rollo toward the country around the Seine. A meeting with Guthrum encourages other Vikings to join him, strengthening the force with which he challenges Frankish and Breton resistance. The novel follows Rollo’s movement from wandering war leader toward territorial ruler, including the alliance and marriage that help establish his position at Rouen and lay foundations for the later duchy of Normandy.
