== Early life == Little is known of Hastein's early life. He is described as a Dane in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, but the 11th-century chronicler Raoul Glaber states that Hastein may have been born in the Pays de Troyes (county of Troyes), in modern-day France, a claim at odds with sources identifying him as Scandinavian.
