Crispina or Crespina is supposedly the daughter of Rollo, Count or Duke of Normandy, and married to Grimaldus I Prince of Monaco. They had three sons; Guido, Prince of Monaco, who was the ancestor of the Grimaldi, the family name of the current Princes of Monaco; Giballinus, a 'warrior in the wars against the Saracens', and Crispinus 'Anagothus' Baron of Bec, the ancestor the Crispin family.
Although this genealogy appears in an article in The Gentleman's Magazine, written by an S. G. (Stacey Grimaldi), and may have been based on an earlier work, there are no sources contemporary to the 10th or 11th centuries that mention Crispina or her husband and sons, and they must all be seen as legendary.
Presumably Crispina's name is used to
