Richard, Duke of Burgundy, Ebles, Count of Poitiers and Manassès, Count of Dijon.

Siege

Rollo initiated the siege by isolating the town and depriving it of resources. This was achieved by burning down the surrounding area. As for the siege itself, it seems to have been carried out initially by Rollo setting up camp in the Eure valley. In this way, the Norse chieftain ensured easy access to supplies and command of both banks of the little Eure river.
