The Bible of Count Rorico was moved to St. Maur des Fossés around 868 due to the threat of a Viking invasion, and entered the Bibliothèque Royale in 1622.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by BnF manuscript catalog, CNRS Bibale database, and a peer-reviewed Scriptorium article on the manuscript's provenance, though exact date of entry into the royal library varies slightly across sources.
