“Rollo gained political power and title through peace and marriage and not by killing a reigning monarch or earl like Ragnar and Lagertha. Rollo found the right way to peace and stability and it was love, understanding and marriage. He saw past differences and, like Ragnar, saw the bigger picture. His infatuation with Gisla helped him take a decision beneficial for both parties; he found the key to real and durable power. Gisla is that key; the key to good rule in Frankia.”
