Editing Rollo (section)

==Depictions in fiction==
Rollo is the subject of the 17th-century play ''[[Rollo Duke of Normandy]]'', also known as ''The Bloody Brother'', written by [[John Fletcher (playwright)|John Fletcher]], [[Philip Massinger]], [[Ben Jonson]], and [[George Chapman]].  The similarities to Rollo are slim, as the play draws inspiration from Herodian's account of the rivalry between Emperor Severus's sons, Geta and Antonine. However, the setting shifts from ancient Rome to medieval France, with the brothers reimagined as Otto and Rollo. Initially appointed as co-rulers of the kingdom, Rollo seizes sole power by killing Otto. His reign, marked by tyranny, ultimately ends when he is killed in retribution for his oppressive rule.<ref>Culhane, Peter . “Rollo, Duke of Normandy, or the Bloody Brother | the Cambridge Works of Ben Jonson.” Universitypublishingonline.org, 2024, universitypublishingonline.org/cambridge/benjonson/k/dubia/dub_07_Rollo/.

A character, broadly inspired by the historical Rollo but including many events predating the historical Rollo's birth, played by [[Clive Standen]], is [[Ragnar Lothbrok]]'s brother in the [[History (U.S. TV channel)|History Channel]] television series ''[[Vikings (TV series)|Vikings]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Turnbow |first=Tina |date=18 March 2013 |title=Reflections of a Viking by Clive Standen |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tina-turnbow/vikings-history-channel_b_2892766.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160422220500/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tina-turnbow/vikings-history-channel_b_2892766.html |archive-date=22 April 2016 |access-date=19 March 2013 |work=[[HuffPost]]}}</ref> In the series, Rollo is the brother of Ragnar Lothbrok. Rollo was staying in West Francia to maintain the Viking's hold on the Seine, as a spot to lead future raids. But, the Franks are able to sway him to betray his brother and go through with an acceptance of land and a marriage to the princess Gisla. There are similarities in this story seen in [[Dudo of Saint-Quentin|Dudo's]], as Rollo settled in West Francia, although there is no mention of betrayal to his brother. He also in the Dudo account marries Charles the Simple's daughter, which is similar to his marriage of princess Gisla.<ref>Dudo of Saint-Quentin (1998). Christiansen, Eric (ed.).
