   Research Notes:

The Annales Bertiniani record that "Roric et Godofridus" returned to Denmark after Emperor Lothar gave Frisia to his son Lothar in 855. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Rorih Nordmannus" who governed "Dorestado" sailed with a fleet to Denmark with the consent of "domini sui Hlotharii regis" in 857 and with the consent of "Horico Danorum rege" ruled part of the country between the sea and "Egidoram". No indication has so far been found of the parentage of this Rörik.
