"Sir Henry DE HASTINGES, of the same (who died shortly before 9 August 1250), by Ada, sister and coheir of John the Scot, 10th Earl of Huntingdon, 3rd daughter of David of Scotland, 9th Earl of Huntingdon. [Complete Peerage VI:345]"

He [Gilbert Pecche] married, 1stly, Maud DE HASTINGES (a). She died 1264 or 1265 (b). [Complete Peerage X:335-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(a) She was probably an older daughter of Henry de Hastinges (grandfather of the first Lord Hastinges of Abergavenny), who, at his death, 1250, left 3 unmarried daughters. In 1254 it was Gilbert Pecche who undertook, to the King's Council, that Ada de Hastinges, sister of Henry de Hastinges, should not marry before the King's return from abroad.

  • Henry de Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings
  • Henry de Hastings (c. 1235–c. 1269) was created Baron in 1264 by Simon de Montfort. He led the Londoners at the Battle of Lewes, where he was taken prisoner, and fought at the Battle of Evesham. He resisted the King at Kenilworth, and, after the Dictum of Kenilworth he commanded the last remnants of the baronial party when they made their last stand in the Isle of Ely, submitting to Henry in July 1267.
  • Henry was the only son of Sir Henry de Hastings and Ada of Huntingdon, one of four daughters of David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon and Maud of Chester. Henry married Joan de Cantilupe, daughter of William III de Cantilupe and Eva de Braose.
  • Although Henry was known by the title of Baron, his baronial title was not recognised by the crown; hence his son John Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings is regarded and enumerated as the first baron of the line.
