About Roricon, ii

RORICO [Rorgo [I]] (-16 Jun [839/40], bur Abbaye de Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil, Anjou).

x (after 800) BILICHILDIS, daughter of --- (-after 1 Mar 839).

a) RORICO [II] (-866). His parentage is confirmed by reading the two references to the parentage of his brothers Gauzlin and Geoffroy [Gauzfrid] (see below), together with the Annales Bertiniani which record the death of "Rorigus frater Gauzfridi"[41]. Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks entrusted the administration of ducatus Cenomannicus to Rorico, but the latter instigated the revolt of the king's son Louis ("le Bègue") in 862, resulting in the confiscation of the appointment which was awarded to Robert "le Fort" [Capet][42]. It is not clear whether this appointment amounted to Rorico's installation as Comte du Maine or whether it was an administrative delegation, with rights and duties similar to those of a vicomte. The Annales Bertiniani record that King Charles II pardoned "Gozfridum et Roricum atque Heriveum" in 863[43], but no record has been found of Rorico’s reappointment in Maine. The Annales Bertiniani record that the Vikings killed "Rorigus frater Gauzfridi" in 866[44].

c) BILICHILDIS
