Ralph Hastings (died 1346)

Ralph Hastings (died 1346) was an English nobleman and soldier who served during the reign of King Edward III. He was likely a member of the Hastings family, a prominent family with land holdings in Yorkshire and other parts of England. Historical records indicate that he participated in various military campaigns during the early phases of the Hundred Years' War. His death in 1346 likely occurred in France, possibly related to the Crécy campaign, although precise details surrounding his death remain somewhat obscure in existing primary sources. Further genealogical research within records of the Hastings family is required to definitively ascertain his precise relationship to other prominent members and the specific nature of his service to the crown.
