Description

Norwegian researchers have finally been able to open the tomb of descendants of the Viking leader Hrólfr (Rollo). They plan to find out if Rollo was the same as Hrólfr from Møre. If he is, this would mean that the British royal family originated from Norway, and that the Norwegian royal family has a much older lineage than is currently believed to be the case.
