A spiral-shaped candy made by rolling layers of caramel, chocolate, and wafer together; also a historical figure (a Viking who became the first Duke of Normandy).
The candy 'Rollo' was trademarked in 1937, likely from the historical Rollo (860-931), a Viking leader who became famous. The brand name capitalized on the adventurous associations of the historical figure.
The real Rollo was a legendary Viking raider who negotiated a peace treaty with the King of France in 911—he essentially stopped raiding in exchange for ruling land in Normandy. His descendants ruled Normandy for centuries, and his great-great-great-grandson was William the Conqueror!
