While traveling south in search of his father Ingvar finds a man half engulfed by the earth.
Rollo: Help! I’m sinking!
Ingvar: Hold on I’ll get you out!
Quickly Ingvar searches for a rope or something to save him but all he could find was a snake.
Rollo: That’s a snake!
Ingvar: I’m sorry friend but it’s the only thing I could find.
Rollo: Ah, what the heck… A snake bite isn’t as bad as death.
Ingvar Pulls him out with little effort and then hurls the snake towards the woods right before it bites him.
Rollo: Thanx lad, I would have certainly died if it weren’t for you. Me names Rollo.
Ingvar: My pleasure Rollo, I’m Ingvar. I don’t suppose you’ve seen anyone else out here?
Rollo: Aye, there was a band of folks that I met a while ago, they had a prisoner with ‘em.
Ingvar: Where were they heading? I have been trying to track down the people who kidnapped my father.
Rollo: They went towards Falkenborg. Here allow me to take you.
Courage, Honor, Loyalty! For Garheim!
Rollo is considered the founder of Normandy. Against this background, the sculptor Arsène Letellier created a granite sculpture of Rollo in 1863, which was placed in a park in Rouen, Normandy. On the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of Normandy in 1911, the idea arose to send a bronze cast of the figure to Rollo's birthplace in Ålesund. The 2.65 meter high bronze statue was placed in Ålesund's city park.
