On January 22, 1376, his mother Anne, 2nd Baroness Manny, and his grandmother Margaret Brotherton, Duchess of Norfolk , were entrusted with the joint guardianship of the only four-year-old Earl of Pembroke and his possessions . After his mother's death on April 3, 1384, he also inherited the title of Baron Mauny and was placed in the care of his grandmother for the following five years.

Probably as early as 1376 they agreed with John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster , a future connection with the House of Lancaster , whereupon the marriage between the Earl of Pembroke and Elizabeth Plantagenet , one of them , finally took place on June 24, 1380 at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire Daughter of John of Gaunt with his first wife Blanche of Lancaster . The marriage did not last long, however, and was annulled after September 24, 1383, before John was old enough to consummate it. Probably around the year 1385 they married again, this time with Philippa, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March , and Philippa Plantagenet, 5th Countess of Ulster , daughter and heiress of Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence .

At the age of nine, the Earl of Pembroke was knighted by Richard II on August 15, 1381 . Furthermore, he was - also still underage - on April 26, 1385 as Chief Commissioner of Array for Suffolk and on May 5, 1387 as Steward of Bury St. Edmunds. He died on December 30 or 31, 1389 at the age of 17 of wounds sustained in a tournament accident in Woodstock , where the royal court was staying during the Christmas festivities that year. In the Historia Vitae et Regni Ricardi Secundi it is described that both the common people and the nobility mourned him: “For he was generous, courteous to all, humble and kind beyond all the young lords of his age in the kingdom. "(" For he was generous, courteous to everyone, more humble and more gracious than all the other young nobles of his age in the kingdom. ")

John Hastings was laid to rest next to his father in the Dominican Church in Hereford . The Franciscans of London claimed, however, that according to his will, the earl should be buried in their church. After lengthy disputes, the king ordered the corpse to be reburied in the choir of the Franciscan Church in around March 1391 or 1392. John Hastings left no heirs and upon his death the earliest dignity reverted to the crown, while the barony of Hastings was dormant and the barony of Manny was extinct. The Honor and Lordship of Avergavenny went to his great cousin William Beauchamp, who is then recorded in 1329 as 1st Baron Bergavenny.
