HASTINGS, WILLIAM LORD (Brit.). Mint-master at London and Calais, under Edward IV., anni 1-16. " Of the King's peculiar munificence the same year he had a grant of the office of Master of his Mint in the Tower of London, and Town of Calais, for twelve years" (Dugdale's Baronage, vol. I, p. 580). "From an Indenture of 4th E.IV. it appears that Lord Hastings was also Keeper of all manner of the King's Eschaunges and Outchaunges in the Tower of London, Realm of England, Territory of Ireland, and Town of Calais " (Ruding, Annals &c, p. 33, note 36). Kenyon mentions two indentures with Lord Hastings, by which in 1464 and again in 1465, the weight of the silver coins was altered as well as the nominal value of the gold coins.
