County of Rouen
The County of Rouen was a medieval Viking fief and the forerunner of the Duchy of Normandy. In 911, Charles III, (King of France and known as 'Charles the Simple') made peace with the Viking leader Rollo in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. The treaty granted Rollo the County of Rouen. Between the creation of the County and the later creation of the Duchy of Normandy, many Vikings settled in the region, leaving an enduring legacy in the form of the Cauchois dialect and the ethnic makeup of the Cauchois Normans.
== History ==
The Vikings first began raids of the area in the late 8th century. Permanent Scandinavian settlement occurred before 911, when King Charles reached an agreement surrendering the County of Rouen to Rollo, a Viking leader. The lands around Rouen became the core of the later Duchy of Normandy. Normandy may have been used as a base for Late 10th Century Scandinavian attacks on England, contributing to the tension and conflict between the two regions.
Danish raids on England continued until 1016, when the raiders forced Æthelred, King of England, to take refuge in Normandy and Danish King Swein Forkbeard became recognized as King of England. Following Swein's death in 1014, Aethelred returned home. However, Swein's son, Cnut the Great, contested Æthelred's return. Æthelred died unexpectedly in 1016 and Cnut ascended the throne. Æthelred's wife Emma and their two sons, Edward the Confessor and Alfred Aetheling, went into exile in Normandy. Emma then became Cnut's second wife.
After Cnut's death in 1035, the English throne fell to Harold Harefoot, Cnut's son from his first wife, while Harthacnut, his son from Emma, became King of Denmark. England remained unstable as Alfred returned in 1036 to visit his mother, and perhaps to challenge Harold's rule. One story implicates Earl Godwin of Wessex in Alfred's death, while another story implicates Harold. Emma went into exile in Flanders until Harthacnut became king following Harold's death in 1040, and his half-brother Edward followed Harthacnut to England. Edward was proclaimed king after Harthacnut's death in June 1042.
