John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke KG (Sutton Valence, August 29, 1347 – April 16, 1375), was a medieval English nobleman and soldier, was the posthumous son of Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Agnes Mortimer. He also held the title Baron Abergavenny.
Marriage
He married on May 19, 1359 in Reading, Margaret (d. 1361), daughter of Edward III of England, but the couple had no children.
He afterwards married, in July 1368, Anne, daughter of Sir Walter Manny, who survived him.
Military career
Pembroke fought in the Castilian campaign of his former brother-in-law, Edward the Black Prince, in 1367.
He was created a Knight of the Garter in 1369. He was almost captured on a raid into Poitou that year, having refused to share command with Sir John Chandos, but Chandos heard of his plight and rescued him.
In 1370, he fought with distinction at the sack of Limoges by the Black Prince.
He was surprised by a Castilian fleet and sharply defeated at the Battle of La Rochelle (June 22, 1372), his fleet being sunk or captured. He was taken prisoner and carried to Santander, and died in captivity in Picardy.
Succession
He was succeeded by his son John Hastings, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, born to Anne a few months after his capture.
