Legacy
Hastein disappeared from history in around 896, by then an old man having already been described as "the lusty and terrifying old warrior of the Loire and the Somme", when he arrived in England several years earlier. He was one of the most notorious and successful Vikings of all times, having raided dozens of cities across many kingdoms in Europe and North Africa.
He is identified with the Jarl Hasting who held the Channel Islands for a while.
