Normandy dervies from thefrench words, Norman, meaning "Norse men" and "dy", meaning place of, thus itwas the "place of the Norse men". This is the region where the Norse, onsouthern excursion, invaded, captured and held, as their "southern bastion"(JFN,1997). Source includes, but is not limited to: "Ancestral File" and the"IGI", "International Genealogical Index", both resource systems developedand solely owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Under Treaty of St. Claire, 911, received the duchy of Normandy from Charles III, "the Simple".
