William Hastings († 1226)
William Hastings (* around 1190; † 1226 ) was an English nobleman and rebel.
William Hastings was a grandson of Walter Hastings, who had served King Henry I as royal steward and received from him the estate of Ashill in Norfolk.
William Hastings belonged to the aristocratic opposition to King John Ohneland and fought from 1216 in the First War of the Barons against the King. As a result, his possessions were confiscated in 1216. At the Battle of Lincoln in May 1217 he was captured by the king's followers. After the War of the Barons, he supported the rebellion of William de Forz in 1221 and was part of the crew of Castle Bytham .
William Hastings had married Margaret Bigod , daughter of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk, and his wife Ida. He had several children with her, including:
- Henry Hastings († 1250)
- Ida (also Ela) Hastings († after 1247)
- ∞ Stephen of Seagrave

His son Henry Hastings became his heir .
