No way. How he went about that could not have been more perfect.

Doesnt Rollo become a duke, marry a french chick, and rule over parts of france for a while?

He marries THAT French chick and rules northern France as the Duke of Normandy. His decedents (see William) are the Normans who conquer Anglo-Saxon England.

It would seem so and that meshes will real history to some extent. All I'm saying is: if the Frankish King is expecting Rollo to betray his brother, Ragnar, again, he should rethink that plan. But it will be interesting to see how it plays out on the show. Mostly Ragnar wants land for his people to farm and it would seem that has been given to Rollo in the form of the future Normandy. Historically the show could easily continue to 1066 with the Conquest of England by the Norman Duke, William the Conqueror.
As an aside, I did not remember that the etymology of "Norman" basically derived from an old Franconian word meaning Nortmann or Northman: LINK
==========================================
The English name "Normans" comes from the French words Normans/Normanz, plural of Normant,[3] modern French normand, which is itself borrowed from Old Low Franconian Nortmann "Northman"[4] or directly from Old Norse Norðmaðr, Latinized as Nortmannus (recorded in Medieval Latin, 9th century) to mean "Norseman, Viking".[5]
