How did the Vikings disappear into the dust of history?
When it comes to Viking, an image of a savage warrior with a strong background, a high nose and deep eyes, rags, a knife and axe in his hand and shoulder-length hair will surely emerge in everyone's mind. These people roamed Europe for 300 years, from about 850 years to 1 150 years, and finally became civilized in history. The leader of civilization is Lolo. As early as the middle of the 9th century, the legendary Viking lagona led 2,000 pirates through five levels, beheaded six generals, and then killed all the way to Paris and looted the city. Rollo, as the younger brother of King King King Hadl of Norway, left the royal family early because of the court struggle and became one of the most famous leaders of Viking. Lolo is nicknamed monkey, which means that a horse can't carry him at all. He can only walk, which shows how tall he is.

With Rollo's physique, naturally, he has few opponents and is invincible in the battle. In the process of leading pirates to plunder, he met the powerful King Alfred the Great of England and had to go to France to rob Paris, arachis duranensis, just like his predecessors. In 885, 40,000 Vikings came to the gates of Paris. Their tribes were numerous and could only be regarded as allies, and Rollo was only the leader of one of them. Parisians are also experienced in resisting vikings. They usually break up the vikings by bribing tribal leaders heavily, but this time the Parisians have the courage to close the gates and fight to the death.

The walls of Paris were high and strong, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were United as one, which led to the Vikings' long-term attack and nothing for several months. Soon, the Vikings were in chaos, and many tribal leaders led their troops to the towns around Paris. Rollo is one of them. Rollo and his team went to northern France to plunder, where the looting was much less difficult than in Paris and they gained a lot. In 9 10, Rollo led a crowd to besiege chartres, a major town in northern France, but it was resisted by local soldiers and civilians. French soldiers and civilians led by the confused King Charles have formed an advantage over the vikings on the battlefield, and the vikings began to retreat.

At this critical moment, the confused King Charles has just reached a peace agreement with the Vikings. The king of France promised Rollo a fief on condition that he led all the troops to be baptized and converted to Christianity and defend other Christian countries to the death. Rollo accepted the decision without hesitation. He changed from a polytheist to a Christian, and his fief is now Normandy. Luo Luo people quickly integrated into the life of local Franks, learned French and married French women. The barbaric habit of burning, killing and looting gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and they learned to farm and trade.
