^ The House of Normandy became extinct before the age of heraldry.
The House of Normandy (Norman : Maison de Nouormandie [mɛ.zɔ̃ d̪e nɔʁ.mɛnde] ) was a noble family originating from the Duchy of Normandy . The House of Normandy's lineage began with the Scandinavian Rollo who founded the Duchy of Normandy in 911.[ 1]
The House of Normandy includes members who were dukes of Normandy , counts of Rouen , as well as kings of England following the Norman conquest of England . It lasted until Stephen of the French House of Blois seized the Duchy of Normandy in 1135. The house emerged from the union between the Viking Rollo [ 2] (first ruler of Normandy) and Poppa of Bayeux ,[ 3] a West Frankish noblewoman. William the Conqueror [ 4] and his heirs down through 1135 were members of this dynasty.
After that it was disputed between William's grandchildren, Matilda , whose husband Geoffrey [ 5] was the founder of the House of Plantagenet , and Stephen of the House of Blois (or Blesevin dynasty).[ 6]
