Malahulc Malahulc was claimed as ancestor by the 11th century Norman noble family of Tosny, who said he was an uncle of Rollo of Normandy, the tenth century founder and first ruler of the principality now known as Normandy.

William of Jumièges describes Roger de Tosny as ""de stirpe Malahulcii, qui Rollonis patruus fuerat, et cum eo Francos atterens, Normanniam fortiter acquisierat,"" that is, he was of the stock of Malahulc, Rollo's uncle, and fought the French bravely in the conquest of Normandy.
