 Is
it a coincidence that the French region where the surname
Grip, also present
in Scandinavia, can be found is Normandy,
a region that has been conquered by the Vikings in the 9th
century?
Coincidence or
not, three families of Grip's has been found there in the
archives: the notable family Grip, Lords of Savigny, Le Grip
from the southwest of Normandy and the more numerous Grip-family,
living around Lisieux.

NORMANDY
The
name Normandy originates from the era after the West
Roman empire. Around 800 the Danes, Swedes and
Norwegians, forced by overpopulation and food
shortages in their own lands, started conquering and
plundering these areas.
In
911 however, the King of Franconia managed to make
peace with Rollo, the Northman leader. Rollo
became a Christian and, as duke Robert I, he served
as a feudal tenant to the French King.
When
time went by the region, now called Normandy, and
the people that had came there to live, became
more and more French. |
