HASTINGS of Huntingdon

Notes: Knight of the Garter.Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, arranged a marriage between his siter Catherine and William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings, a powerful noble, and a close friend and Lord Chamberlain of Edward IV who had replaced Henry VI as king of England on 4 Mar 1461 when he was proclaimed king in London. The proclamation was followed by the decisive Yorkist victory on 29 Mar at the Battle of Towton in which Edward had served as commander of the Yorkist army and crushingly defeated the Lancastrians. On 9 Apr 1483, King Edward died; his son Edward V and kingdom were placed under the guardianship of his youngest brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who was made Lord Protector of England. It was William Hastings who advised Richard to take the young King Edward V into protective custody immediately following the death of Edward IV.

About this time that Hastings became the lover of Jane Shore, a former mistress of both the late King Edward and Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset. Jane encouraged him to enter into a conspiracy with the Woodville family against the Lord Protector. Richard, upon discovering Hastings' treachery ordered his immediate execution, which took place on 13 Jun 1483 at the Tower of London. Several weeks later, Richard sealed an indenture, swearing to take Hatings' wife Catherine directly under his protection and to "secure for her the enjoyment of her husband's lands, goods, privileges, and the custody not only of their heir until the boy came of age but also the wardship of the young Earl of Shrewsbury who was married to their daughter, Anne". Richard assured Catherine that Hastings would never be attainted, and that she would be defended against any attempt by intimidation or fraud to deprive her of her rights.

Shortly after Hastings' death, on 22 Jun, Richard proclaimed himself King of England which was supported by an Act of Parliament known as Titulus Regius that declared his nephew King Edward V and his siblings illegitimate. He was crowned king on 6 Jul.

Notes: Beaumont became master of rolls on 13 Dec 1550, but he abused his position, speculating with the revenues and forging the signature of the late Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, on a deed to favor Suffolk’s daughter, Anne Brandon, Lady Grey of Powis. He then bought the property from her. Since Henry Grey, the new duke of Suffolk, challenged Anne's right to the property, the forgery was discovered and Beaumont was imprisoned in Feb 1552. His lands were surrendered, including his family seat at Grace Dieu, which was granted in 1553 to Francis Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon, Elizabeth’s cousin. After Beaumont’s death, Elizabeth recovered Grace Dieu from Francis. From 1571, Elizabeth raised her daughter’s four children, at Grace Dieu, instilling in them the tenets of Roman Catholicism. She was obviously successful since Eleanor and Anne Vaux spent decades providing safe houses for Jesuit missionaries and Elizabeth became a Poor Clare nun.
