  ==Biography==
  '''Birth''' His elder brother Henry was declared by the Abbot of Bury to be not of age as a knight (21) in 1182, so Henry must have been born after 1170, and presumably William after 1171.Jocelin of Brakelond [https://books.google.be/books?id=I068G8fHEjYC&pg=P106 reported] the events in Bury.
  Eyton, in his ''Antiquities of Shropshire'', follows Dugdale's much earlier ''Baronage'' in his summary of the small amount of evidence we have for the life of this William.:"William de Hastings (III) attended the Parliament of Lincoln in November 1200, when William, King of Scots, did homage to King John. In the same year a Feodary of St. Edmundsbury gives William de Hastinges asholding 5 knights’-fees under the Abbey, viz. 3 in Lidgate, Blunham, and Herlinge, and 2 in Tibenham and Grissing. I refer elsewhere for some further particulars concerning this William de Hastings, to whichI might add many more, but in so doing should be in danger of saying that of him which may refer to a contemporary of the same name, and who had estates in some of the same Counties. It was clearly William de Hastings, the Steward, who was in rebellion against King John in 1216 ; for a Writ of April 10 orders the Constable of Norwich to destroy his Castles and lay waste his lands, whilst a second writ of April 22nd gives up to his Suzerain, the Abbot of St. Edmund’s, all lands whichhe held in the Abbot’s Fee. Another Writ of King John, dated at Clun, August 3, 1216, grants away William de Hastings’ lands in Warwickshire and Leicestershire."Antiquities of Shropshire, Volume 5, p.139, available online at [https://books.google.be/books?pg=PA139 google books], [http://hdl.handle.net/2027/yale.39002013354866?urlappend=%3Bseq=161 hathitrust], and other places.
  
  Clark summarizes a few more facts::when Abbot Samson fell into controversy with his knights, and called upon them to acknowledge the services attached to their fees, the Earlof Norfolk was the first, and the Earl of Oxford and William de Hastings the last to do so. [Brakelond, 135]. In 1200 he sat in the court at Lincoln, before which William of Scotland did homage. [Dugd. Bar. I.574.] 13 Nov., 1203, William de Warenne is to give him quittance for 100/. sterling, a debt due to the Jews, from whom Warenne is to obtainthe papers, and the King Is to be told the balance of the debt. John was then at Bonneville, but on his return William was to pay a fine, and meantime his lands, mortgaged to the Jews, were to be restored to him. [Liberate Roll, 73.] In 1204 his name occurs in Northamptonshire. Also Abram, son of Anege the Jew, has letters upon him in Suffolk for 20L. In 1205 he was bail for Henry, son of the Earl of Cornwall, to the extent of 20 marks. [R. de Oblat. 215-63-77-8.] 7 John, 1205, Warenne is again called in to replace him in the lands of Blunham, Hassel, and Horstel, now pledged to the Jews for debt, he giving security to the King.
  
  ===A contemporary with the same name===Many writers, including Eyton, confuse William with another man of thesame name whose lands were in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. This William died at a similar time, as can be seen in the Fine Rolls, but until at least 1212 a John de Hastings held that lordship. For this other family see 'Parishes: Eaton Hastings', in A Historyof the County of Berkshire: Volume 4, ed. William Page and P H Ditchfield (London, 1924), pp. 528-531. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/berks/vol4/pp528-531 [accessed 15 May 2016].
  
  ==The wife of William== Douglas Richardson has summarised the evidence, which basically comes from one very old secondary source, William Dugdale, whose source was apparently the collection of Robert Glover Somerset Herald (now hard to trace)::"Margaret le Bigod, is alleged by Dugdale to have had the manor of Little Bradley, Suffolk in marriage, which might well be true. However,I don't find any of the later male members of the Hastings family dealing with this manor, so the manor was probably passed in marriage to one of the later Hastings women in this time period." https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/soc.genealogy.medieval/3oWGE4p1lHs
  William Dugdale, in his original Baronage, page 574, names William's wife as Margerie, daughter of Roger de Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and saysthe land at Little Bradley which came with this marriage was to be enjoyed after the death Gundred, Roger's step mother.[https://books.google.be/books?pg=PA140 Eyton] (Shropshire Vol V) points out that Dugdale attaches this marriage to the wrong William, at least according to all modern genealogies, but that he could be interpreted as gettingit right under the Bigod's on page 133 of Baronage. Gundred would have been the daughter of Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick.
  Encouragingly however, Little Bradley does seem to appear in the Inquisition Post Mortem of William's great grandson, the first Lord John deHastings.https://archive.org/stream/calendarofinquis62grea#page/n35/mode/2up
  Richardson also found evidence that the Bigod family had at least heldGreat Bradley (E 40/3775. Grant by William Bygod, lord of Great Bradley near St. Edmund's). Also, for Bradley generally, Katharine Keats-Rohan has written that: :"Adeliza Bigod was addressed in writs of Henry I and Stephen concerning tithes at Bradley, Suffolk: Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum, II, nos 1485, 1495; III, no. 82."Prosopon, No. 10 (1999), pg. 3
  An earlier source sometimes given for this marriage is Milles The Catalogue of Honour (1610) p.503. But Milles was nephew of Robert Glover and so he apparently used the same sources as Dugdale.
  Clark somehow found a death date for her, 31 March 1237. Perhaps his source was Milles, who is one of the sources he mentions in that passage.Clark, G. T. C. (1869), "The Rise and Race of Hastings" (in 3 parts), Archaeological Journal, Vol. 26. https://archive.org/stream/archaeologicalj02unkngoog#page/n302/mode/2up/ (Clark is apparently wrong to equate her to a widow in a place called Thorpe though. That would be the widow of Gilbert de Hastings in Thorpe Morieux.)
  Neither Eyton, nor Clark are able to explain why there was a Mathilda de Hastings in 1235-6, holding half a knight's fee in the honour of Earl Ferrars in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. But as Eyton remarks, she appears to be a widow.
  
  ===Not the widow of William Cumin===To complicate things, Dugdale in his Warwickshire, seems to have had evidence from the 18th year of King John (1216) that a Margerie who married a William de Hastings was actually a widow to a William de Cumin,in Warwickshire.Dugdale, Baronage, under [http://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A36791.0001.001/1:18.34?rgn=div2;view=fulltext Hastings] J. H. Round confirms the record exists.https://archive.org/stream/ancestorquarterl09lond#page/146/mode/2up/search/hastings But there are problems to make this Margerie the mother of William's son and heir, Henry, who was already 21 by 1226. And Round furthermore showed how this Margerie's heir was another William Cumin, nota Hastings. He and his heirs were claimants to a share of the inheritance of the Giffard family of Font Hill.
  
  ==The father of William==There is no surviving primary record which names the father of William. He and his brother Henry's last known successor as dapifer in Bury was William de Hastings who must have died between 1168-1181.
  William Dugdale in the 17th century apparently saw a charter which confirmed many connections, but it also does not seem to have involved the connection between this William and his father.
  
  ==The mother of William==
  There is clear primary record evidence that William's mother was Maud Banestre. In 1222 he inherited Shropshire lands from her, apparently his only Shropshire lands, and only a few years before he died and his own heir Henry inherited from him, including lands in Shropshire. Henry de Hastings can be shown to have held the Banastre inheritance, for example in the Book of Fees.
  
  Fine Rolls of Henry III, 6/194 dated 17 June 1222, Westminster: :"To the sheriff of Shropshire . William of Hastings has made fine with the king by 10 m. for his relief of two hides of land with appurtenances in Aston, which Matilda Banaster, mother of the aforesaid William, held of the king in chief and which fall to William by inheritance, and the king has taken his homage for this. Order that, having accepted security from him for rendering a moiety of the aforesaid fine to the king at Michaelmas in the sixth year and the other moiety at Easter next following in the seventh year, he is to cause him to have full seisin without delay. Witness H. etc. By the same and the king’s council."http://www.finerollshenry3.org.uk/content/calendar/roll_016.html#it194_005
  
  Fine Rolls 10/83 (28 January 1226):28 Jan. Marlborough. "For Henry of Hastings. To the sheriff of '''Warwickshire and Leicestershire'''. Henry of Hastings has made fine with the king by 50 m. for having seisin of all the land that '''William ofHastings, his father, whose heir he is,''' held of the king in chief,and that falls to Henry by hereditary right , and the king has taken his homage. Order that, having accepted security from Henry for rendering the aforesaid 50 m. to the king for his relief at these terms, namely 12½ m. at Easter in the tenth year, 12½ m. at Michaelmas, 12½ m. at Easter in the eleventh year, and 12½ m. at Michaelmas in the same year, he is to cause him to have full seisin without delay of all the land that the aforesaid William, his father, held of the king in chief in his bailiwick which were taken into the king’s hand by his order. He is, moreover, to cause the executors of the testament of the same William to have the chattels found in the same lands formerly of the same William, saving
