In that settlement after a thirty ’ years war , the King of France agreed to confirm Rollo s title as Duke of Normandy , and give him his daughter in marriage ; the Duke agreeing to do homage to the King , to ’ become a Christian and marry the King s daughter . But w hen the time came for the Duke to do homage , he refused ’ to kiss the King s foot , and no persuasion or entreaty could induce him to perform that part of the ceremony . It was finally compromised by permitting Rollo to kiss the King ’s ’ foot by proxy , but when the courtier lifted up the King s foot , he raised it so high that it tumbled the King out of his chair , which created great laughter among those present . ’ Yet the King bore this indignity , well knowing that Rollo s army was too strong to meet in battle . fl From that time Normandy began to ourish , and during the time of its first six dukes , it was one of the richest pro vinces in the world , notwithstanding its many wars .
