VCH Berkshire, concerning Eaton Hastings:[3]

The heir in question was apparently the William de Hastings, who was tenant in about 1240. He died in 1278, leaving a daughter and heir Joan, then the wife of Sir Benedict de Blakenham. (Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), 110, 122, 126; Feet of F. Berks. 1 Edw. I, no. 6; Hund. R. (Rec. Com.), i, 15; Chan. Inq. p.m. 6 Edw. I, no. 22; Cal. Fine R. 1272\endash 1307, p. 99.)
In 1297 her son and heir Benedict conveyed the manor, saving the dower of Isabel widow of William de Hastings, to Alice wife of Hugh de St. Philibert, on behalf of her husband, who was in Flanders. (Chan. Inq. p.m. 26 Edw. I, no. 35; De Banco R. 27, m. 93 d.; Cal. Pat. 1292\endash 1301, p. 391.)
