Who was William I, Duke of Normandy?
William I Longsword was the second ruler of Normandy, from 927 until his assassination.
He is sometimes anachronistically dubbed "Duke of Normandy", even though the title duke did not come into common usage until the 11th century. William was known at the time by the title count of Rouen Flodoard—always detailed about titles—consistently referred to both Rollo and his son William as principes of the Norse.
