Rollo, the son of a Scandinavian noble, was first married to a Frankish princess and then given Normandy as a fief in 911 to keep the Vikings out of the Frankish Empire. This turned out to be a success, and eventually, the raids ceased.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFar later, exquisite silver and ivory objects were gifted to churches and cathedrals, probably as gifts from Scandinavian royalty.
