>From the page Jean helpfully linked to:
"The name of Normandy is derived from the settlement and conquest of
the territory by Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and
confirmed by treaty in the 10th century. For a century and a half
following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England
were linked by Norman rulers, but following 1204 the continental
territory was ultimately held by France."
