Normandy comprises mainland Normandy
(a part of France) and insular Normandy (mostly the British Channel Islands). It covers 30,627 square kilometres (11,825 sq mi).[3] Its population is
3,499,280. The inhabitants of Normandy are known as Normans,[1] and the region is the historic homeland of the Norman language. Large settlements
include Rouen, Caen, Le Havre and Cherbourg.
Normandy's name comes from the settlement of the territory by Vikings ("Northmen") starting in the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th
century between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl Rollo. For almost 150 years following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy
and England were linked by having the same person reign as both Duke of Normandy
