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.

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?

Off topic... I had no idea that content from Message to Eagle was restricted here. I wonder why.
