Duchy of Normandy
The
Duchy of Normandy
grew out of the 911
Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte
between
King Charles III
of
West Francia
and
Rollo
, leader of the
Vikings
. The duchy was established under
Richard II
in c. 996. From 1035 to 1135 it was held by the Norman kings of England and then, after 15 years of government by
Stephen of Blois
and
Geoffrey Plantagenet
, it was held by the
Angevin kings of England
from 1150 to 1204. Normandy was conquered by
Philip II of France
in 1204 and remained disputed territory until the
Treaty of Paris
of 1259, when the English sovereigns ceded their claim, except for the
Channel Islands
.
