It is certainly not Vicia sativa with those long flower stalks. How big were the flowers? Vicia hirsuta flowers are 2-5 mm long.

The flowers were small. The photo of the pods is not very good but they were also short.

It is hard to tell from your photo whether the pods are hairy or not. I suspect this is Vicia disperma, which has hairless pods 5-8 mm wide. Vicia hirsuta has hairy pods 2-4 mm wide.
