This profile needs some attention, perhaps due to merging?
NN moður Kaðlins Rollo´s first wife or concubine (Gudrodsdottir)
French: Ermina De Heidmark (D'Avranches)
The Default name is long and unwieldy, I would change name to N.N. then set Display Name to "Kaðlin's Mother" or "Kaðlin's Mother, Rollo's first partner". The very specific name in the French fields suggests a bad merge between Kaðlin's mother and Gerberge's mother.
Birth: circa 862 Scotland
Death: 935 (69-77) Scotland
Place of Burial: Scotland
Dates and locations are quite specific for someone that we don't even know the name of. The About actually states that she might have been Icelandic, so either the About needs rewriting or the location fields need to be cleared and Locked.
The ABOUT states:
The unknown mother of Kaðlin (Kathline), perhaps from Scotland or maybe Iceland.
It is possible that Gangu-Hrólfr had a daughter from his time in Scotland or Iceland.
Does this mean that we don't even know if Rollo had a daughter named Kadlin? Reading the About of Kaðlin clarifies things a little except that the translated quote from Landnamabok is almost unintelligible, then there are the conflicting opinions of users where on clearly believes Kadlinis Rollo's daughter and the other doesn't, then a block quote from the Peerage stating that Kadlin's mother is Poppa. So rather than clarify the issue it's actually just another profile that needs attention.
If i get the time i'll look for a better translation of the Landnamabok passage, even if she is mentioned in Landnamabok it doesn't not necessarily mean she was from Iceland or even that she ever even went there.
