Richard III had Lord Hastings beheaded primarily due to political necessity and perceived betrayal. Hastings had been a supporter of Edward IV and was seen as a threat to Richard's claim to the throne. During a council meeting, Hastings expressed suspicion about Richard's intentions, leading Richard to act swiftly to eliminate him as a potential rival. This move was part of Richard's broader strategy to consolidate power and eliminate opposition following the death of Edward IV.

Does Richard III kill Lord Hastings?

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.
