Résumé
This article, which is the first of two, analyses a story told by Dudo of Saint-Quentin in his early eleventh-century Historia Normannorum about Rollo coming at some ill-defined point in time to the Benedictine monastery at Fleury on the Loire, nowadays called Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire. This story was repeated, though altered, by the historical compiler Hugh of Fleury in the early twelfth century, but Hugh still has Rollo as once being at Fleury. The intention is to explore whether Rollo of Rouen, one ‘war leader among many’, ever really went to Fleury either at some point in the late ninth century or even in 910 as some historians have suggested. This first part concentrates on Dudo’s story itself.
