Hugh was the eldest son of Hugh Hastings and Margery Foliot.[1] After his death, it was claimed that Hugh had first unfurled his banner in battle against the Saracens.[2] He served in John of Gaunt's retinue during his expeditions into Normandy, Brittany, France and Gascony during the Hundred Years War. Captured while in Castile, Hugh was later exchanged in a prisoner exchange. While fighting in France in 1369, he was killed. Both Hugh and his wife are buried at Black Friars, Doncaster.[1]
