This is the story of Haesten, quite possibly the greatest Viking you've never heard of. He sailed and pillaged with such famous Vikings as Bjorn Ironside and rubbed shoulders with kings and generals alike. From England to the Byzantine Empire and from Scandinavia to North Africa, he left his mark across the known world and played an integral role in the events of the Viking Age. And yet he's been swept under the rug of history and hardly anyone remembers his name. Today we tell his story.
