-
Name Poppa of Bayeux [1] Gender Female Notes - Poppa of Normandy de Valois is the daughter of Berenger of Bayeaux de Senlis, Count of Bayeaux. She married Rollo Ragnvaldsson, 1st Duc de Normandie, son of Ragnvald I 'the Wise' Eysteinsson, Earl of More and Ragnhild Hrolfsdottir, in 886. As a result of her marriage, Poppa of Normandy de Valois was styled as Duchesse de Normandie.
Poppa of Bayeux was the mistress or wife (perhaps by more danico) of Norman conqueror Rollo. She was the mother of William I, Duke of Normandy, and Gerloc. Chronicler Dudo of Saint-Quentin relates that she was the daughter of a count named Berenger, captured at Bayeux by Rollo in 885 or 889. This has led to speculation that she was the daughter of Berengar II of Neustria. A statue of Poppa stands at Place de Gaulle in Bayeux.
