Do you have Catherine de Baillon on your family tree? If so, you might be a descendant of Rollo.

Catherine de Baillon was a French-Canadian woman born around 1645. She was the daughter of Alphonse de Baillon and Louise de Marle. She was among the Filles du Roi, a group of women ordered by the King to be recruited and sent to New France to marry the settlers. She married Jacques Miville dit Deschênes in 1669. Catherine de Baillon is also believed to be a descendant of Rollo the Viking.

Yes, Catherine de Baillon is a descendant of Rollo the Viking. According to historical records, Rollo married Poppa of Bayeux, daughter of Count Berengar of Rennes, and they had a son, William I Longsword. William Longsword was the father of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, the grandfather of William the Conqueror, and the great-great-grandfather of Catherine de Baillon.

One of many sources for this information is "The Normans: A Nation Between France and England, 1060-1204" by Marjorie Chibnall.

Marjorie Chibnall was a British medieval historian specializing in Normandy's history. She was born in 1906 and grew up in England. She received her undergraduate degree from Oxford University and later earned a Ph.D. in history from the University of Cambridge.

She wrote several books on these subjects, including "The Normans and the Norman Conquest" and "The World of Orderic Vitalis."
