	Adrianople
		The Battle of Bosworth is one of the pivotal events of British history.
		The “classic” version is that, imagining the points of a compass, Henry arrived from the West, Richard from the East, and the Stanley’s were split: one (probably Sir William) being to the north, and one (probably Lord Stanley) to the south.
		Once the Stanley’s have committed to fighting either for Richard or for Henry, they may not change sides again, and come under the normal command hierarchy of the side for which they are fighting.

		Thus, he was at the side of the Duke when the latter was decisively defeated in 1459 at the Battle of Ludford Bridge by the Lancastrians.
		When the Duke was killed in the following year at the Battle of Wakefield, William immediately joined the household of the Duke's eldest son, Edward, Earl of March and it was this nobleman who was crowned Edward IV on 4 March 1461, that William was to serve for the rest of his life.
		The resulting battle ended in such a complete victory for Edward that the way was now open for him to rule without much opposition from the Lancastrians for the next few years: it was also open for William Hastings to enjoy the fruits of his steadfast loyalty to the Yorkist cause.
