Ademar of Charbanes claims that this man converted back to paganism before his death and ordered the human sacrifice of 100 Christian captives. He may have been killed defending the fortress of Eu from the forces of Arnulf of Flanders. In some sources this man was known as 'Ganger' or 'walker' because he was too large to mount a horse, and he is said to be the son of the earl of More, while the more dubious Dudo of St. Quentin claims that he came from 'Dacia', probably indicating Denmark. This man gained his territory when he signed the Treaty of St.-Clair-sur-Epte with Charles the Simple and he ceded control of it to his son William Longsword four years before his death. For 10 points name this ancestor of William the Conqueror, a Viking warrior who founded the duchy of Normandy.
