Paternal Family Tree: Hastings
Maternal Family Tree: Elizabeth Louches Baroness Camoys
1470 March 1470 Welles' Rebellion and Battle of Losecoat Field aka Empingham
Before 1423 [his father] Leonard Hastings (age 26) and [his mother] Alice Camoys were married.
In 1433 Richard Hastings Baron Willoughby was born to Leonard Hastings (age 37) and Alice Camoys at York Castle [Map].
On 20th October 1455 [his father] Leonard Hastings (age 59) died at Kirkby, Leicestershire.
On 19th March 1470 Robert Welles 8th Baron Willoughby 8th Baron Welles was beheaded at Doncaster [Map]. He was buried at Whitefriars Doncaster [Map]. Baron Welles forfeit. His sister [his future wife] Joan succeeded 9th Baroness Willoughby de Eresby. Richard Hastings Baron Willoughby (age 37) by marriage Baron Willoughby de Eresby. He, Hastings, a favourite of King Edward IV of England (age 27), younger brother of Edward's great friend [his brother] William Hastings 1st Baron Hastings (age 39).
Before 16th March 1475 [his wife] Joan Welles 9th Baroness Willoughby of Eresby died.
Christopher Willoughby 10th Baron Willoughby (age 22) de jure 10th Baron Willoughby de Eresby. Margaret Jenney Baroness Willoughby of Eresby (age 15) by marriage Baroness Willoughby de Eresby.
King Edward IV of England (age 32) had father and son [Richard Welles 7th Baron Welles, Baron Willoughby and Robert Welles 8th Baron Willoughby 8th Baron Welles] posthumously attainted some five years after the Welles' Rebellion [see Patent Rolls] to ensure Richard Hastings Baron Willoughby (age 42) would continue to enjoy the benefit of the Welles' estates.
Another example of King Edward IV of England being somewhat disingenuous with the legal system to his own advantage. He, Edward was, in effect, disinheriting Christopher Willoughby 10th Baron Willoughby who should have inherited Baron Willoughby de Eresby and John Welles 1st Viscount Welles (age 25) who should have inherited Baron Welles following Joan's death.
