Founded in Neustria by Rollo, the Duchy of Normandy expanded from the lower Seine valley in 911 to include the Bessin, pays d’Auge, and Hiémois regions in 924, followed by the Cotentin, Avranchin, and the Channel Islands in 933.
In 1066, Duke William the Conqueror of Normandy conquered England and became its king. A century and a half later, in 1204, King Philip Augustus of France invaded the duchy and incorporated it into the royal domain.
