Normandy (French: Normandie) is a region in northern France. People from Normandy are called Normans. The name Normandy comes from the "Northmen" (Latin: Northmanni), also called Vikings. They came from Scandinavia, and conquered this area in the 9th and 10th centuries. The group of people that settled at Rouen and became the Normans was led by Rollo. Normandy is also famous for being the location of the Allied invasion of France during World War II (See D-Day). The Battle of Normandy was the beginning of the Allied invasion and liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany.
