> Viking influence extended all the way to France
All the way to southern Italy and then some. Luna was in northern Italy but the story is too funny no not quote:
The Viking force arrived at the town of Luna, whose walls were too heavily
defended for an outright assault. The force devised a plan to trick the
town’s bishop into converting Hastein to Christianity. Once converted,
Hastein faked his death with the final wish to be buried in the town's
church. Upon learning that the town was not Rome, the Viking force raided the
surrounding countryside before ultimately sailing back to Frankia.
