These two papers were read by Rob Helmerichs and Emily Albu as a session at the Haskins Society Conference in October, 2000. (Photo below.)

Rollo as Historical Figure (Robert Helmerichs). An examination of the historical evidence for Rollo's life.

Rollo as Literary Figure (Emily Albu). A discussion of Rollo's literary posterity in the 11th and 12th centuries.
