ENGLISH NAME
Eastern half of former province of Normandy
DERIVATION OR STATUS
Formerly a French province, Normandy [Normandie], with its old capital at Rouen, is now divided into two regions
bordering on the English Channel: Upper Normandy [Haute-Normandie] and Lower Normandy [Basse-
Normandie]. During the Roman period, the region formed part of Gallia Lugdunensis (Celtic Gaul). With the Frankish invasions it was made a constituent part of the kingdom of
Neustria.Ten centuries have passed since the Vikings invaded the
province of Normandy. The early Scandinavians might have come to ravish the land, but they stayed to cultivate it. It came to be known as Normandy about 911, when Charles III, king of France, turned it over to Rollo, the leader of a
menacing band of Viking raiders.
