In Shakespear's play, Richard III (or more specifically the Duke of Buckingham working for Richard) definitely arranges to Hastings death. As for real history, the general consensus appears to be that they both ordered it, but Hastings really, really deserved it because he was part of a conspiracy to overthrow Richard for Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII). But like a lot of things from this time, the actual record of event are very sketchy, and tainted by a lot of tradition and later propaganda. So the real answer is -- no-one can be sure.

William Shakespeare's character Richard III in the play of the same name did not physically kill anyone with his own two hands, but rather served as the organizer and master-mind behind numerous murders and deaths throughout the play. He hired assasins to murder Clarence, the two sons of King Edward, and Hastings because he felt they were in the way of his obtaining the throne. The same character also appears in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part III where he does personally kill King Henry and takes part in the killing of King Henry's son.
