DE BAYEUX (OF RENNES) Poppa
Birth: 872 Bayeux, Normandy
Death: BEF 930
Notes
She may have been a Duchess of Norway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppa_of_Bayeux
Poppa of Bayeux was the Christian wife or mistress[1] (perhaps more danico)[2] of the
Viking conqueror Rollo. She was the mother of William I Longsword and grandmother
of Richard the Fearless, who forged the Duchy of Normandy into a great fief of
medieval France.[3] Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in his panegyric of the Norman dukes,
describes her as the daughter of a "Count Berengar", the dominant prince of that
region, who was captured at Bayeux by Rollo in 885 or 889.[4] This has led to
speculation that she was the daughter of Berengar II of Neustria. Despite the
uncertainty of her parentage, she undoubtedly was a member of the Frankish
aristocracy.[5] A statue of Poppa stands at the Place de Gaulle in Bayeux.
