So the caskets from Rollo’s descendants turned out to have other skeletons in them. That was the secret that had to be hidden by a link-only post with no comment by the poster?

"The two skeletons in the sarcophagus are in no way related to Viking Rollo."

Understandable mistake. One of the skeletons had the name of Rollo Ver Bethooven.

They are asking why a Celtic was buried in a Duke coffin. Well, maybe basketball players were much older back then and they didn’t differentiate between college and the pros. Just guessing.

That sucks. Not surprised since graves were moved all the time in Europe.

Yeh I didn't recall Rollo being a Viking anyway.

Maybe Rollo was a Minnesota VIKINGS fan, so again, it’s an understandable mistake.

I paused at his tomb in Rouen Cathedral. I even said a little prayer for the repose of his soul. Was that tomb just there for the tourist trade?

Was Viking ruler Rollo thoroughly p-whipped?

Thousands of these strange sculpted figures were buried with Rollo to accompany, serve, and protect him in the afterlife:
