Biography
John (Hastings) de Hastings was a member of aristocracy in the British Isles.
Titles of Sir John de Hastings:
First "Lord Hastings" in the English Peerage.[2]
His father's family had ancient "serjeantrie" rights, originally connected to a stewardship (his ancestor William de Hastings was called "dispensator" to the king) that was served in return for possession of the manor of Uphall in Ashill, Wayland hundred, Norfolk.[3] The office was that of "Napperer" (in charge of the linen), and entitled him to carrying the Second Sword, and the Great Gilt Spurs at coronations.[4]
His father's family also had long held the position of Steward ("Dapifer") of the Liberty of Bury St. Edmund's Abbey. This was connected to the family's possession of Lidgate, Blunham, Herling, Tibbenham and Gissing. His ancestor William de Hastings had inherited this from an uncle.
Seneschal of Aquitaine (appointed 1302 and re-appointed 1309).[5]
Lord of Abergavenny[6]
Complete Peerage concerning his claim to the Scottish throne:[7]
In 1292 he claimed a third part of the Kingdom of Scotland, as grandson and h. of Ada, 4th da. and coh. of David, Earl of Huntingdon: his claim was rejected by the judgment delivered at Berwick Castle, on Monday after St. Martin [17 Nov.].
Military service:
"John fought in Gascony in 1294. He was continually employed in the Scottish wars of Kings Edward I and Edward II, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300." [8]
There was an extensive listing of John's possessions made after his death, and published.[9]
According to Complete Peerage, his will was proved and enrolled, Monday before St. Margaret 1325, in the Court of Husting, London.
Birth
Born: 6 May 1262. At his father's Inquisition Post Mortem, made Tuesday after Palm Sunday, 53 Hen. III, it was mentioned that "John his son, aged 6 on the day of St. John ante Portam Latinam (6 May), 52 Hen. III (1268)., is his heir."[10] That would mean he turned 6 on May 6, 1268, and was therefore born May 6, 1262.
While Complete Peerage says he was born in Allesley in Warwickshire, citing, Contin. Chron. Flor. Wigorn., vol. ii, p. 190, which apparently said he was born "apud Alesle", Blomefield says he was born in the family's ancient seat at Ashill in Norfolk (which was more normally spelled in forms more like Ashele).[3]
Death and burial
He died 10 Feb 1312/3 [8]
Although Richardson in Royal Ancestry Vol. III p. 256 notes John de Hastings burial in Friars Minor, Coventry, recent identification of what may be his tomb in St. Mary's Priory Church, Abergavenny, put the Friars Minor location of his burial in dispute.
Concerning the tomb and effigy of John de Hastings, Alton Rogers received a letter dated August 12, 2006 from Janet Herrod of 'Abergavenny Museum at the Castle' which provided detailed information as well as the pedigree of about the Lords of Abergavenny as well as the pedigree of John de Hastings, 11th Lord of Abergavenny, with effigy photo and information about the de Valence family. The oldest memorial in the Priory Church, dating from around 1325, is a graceful, carved oak effigy of Sir John de Hastings, who was probably responsible for the church's 14th century restoration. Until recent years the tomb associated with the effigy was thought to be of a Cantilupe lord, but in-depth research indicates the tomb is believed by St. Mary's to be that of John de Hastings.
Description of the tomb of John de Hastings: http://stmarys-priory.org/stmaryschurch/monuments.php :
The newly constructed tomb on which the (effigy) figure lies contains paneling from the knight's original tomb, which would have stood in the centre of the choir. Depressions on the side once held brightly enameled heraldic shields. The cross-legged posture was a fashion popular before 1330 or 1340 and his feet rest on a lion, a symbol of courage and strength.
Wikipedia states:[11] :
The Priory Church of St. Mary, Abergavenny, in the center of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, has been called the 'Westminster Abbey of Wales' due to its large size, its number of high status church monument tombs and the rare medieval effigies surviving within it.
Marriage and Children
John de Hastings, Knight and Isabel de Valance married (at Braxted, Essex or Blunham, Bedfordshire), by papal dispensation dated 15 July 1275. [8]
They had three sons, William, John, and Henry, and three daughters, Joan, Elizabeth, and Margaret. [8]
Jane Hastings
John Hastings 2nd Lord Hastings
Henry De Hastings clerk, [12]
Elizabeth Hastings
William Hastings Knight
Margaret Hastings
(NOTE: Robert Hastings is not considered a son. See his article.)
Isabel died 5 Oct. 1305, and was buried in the church of the Grey Friars at Coventry, Warkwickshire. [8]
John de Hastings married (2nd) in or before 1308 Isabel le Despenser, widow of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., and daughter of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., Earl of Winchester, 1st Lord Despenser. [8]
John and Isabel le Despenser had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and Thomas. [8]

Baron
Hastings was the son of Henry de Hastings, who was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester as Lord Hastings in 1263. However, this creation was not recognized by the King Henry III of England although John Hastings is sometimes referred to as the second Baron Hastings. His mother was Joanna de Cantilupe, sister and heiress of his uncle George de Cantilupe (d.1273).
He became the 13th Baron Bergavenny by tenure on the death of his uncle George de Cantilupe in 1273, and thereby acquired Abergavenny Castle and the honour of Abergavenny.
Soldier
Hastings fought from the 1290s in the Scottish, Irish and French wars of King Edward I and was later Seneschal of Aquitaine.
In 1290 he had unsuccessfully contested the Scottish crown as grandson of Ada, third daughter of David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon, who was a grandson of King David I. The same year he was summoned to the English Parliament as Lord Hastings.
In 1301, he signed a letter to Pope Boniface VIII, protesting against papal interference in Scottish affairs.

William Hastings (1282–1311)
