Web Notes notes for Popa DE VALOIS Duchess Of Normandy
Popa was the pagan wife or concubine he repudiated in order to marry the daughter of the King of France. When she died childless, Rollo resumed his relationship with Popa.
Weis' "Ancestral Roots . . ." (121E:18), her husband, ROLLO, participated in a Viking attack on Bayeux, where her father, COUNT BERENGER, was killed. Rollo took Poppe as his "Danish wife" which means he would remain married to her as long as he lived in Normandy, but the marriage would be null and void if he moved away, as she was taken as "the spoils of war".
