Henry was the eldest son of Francis Hastings, Second Earl of Huntingdon, and Catherine Pole. Through his mother He was a member of the House of Plantagenet. He would study alongside fellow future King Edward VI. Francis was a political ally of John Dudley, First Duke of Northumberland, which led to a arranged marriage between Henry and Lady Katherine Dudley.
Following the death of Edward VI, Hastings would support Lady Jane Grey's claim to the throne which would lead to Henry being imprisoned for a short period in the Tower of London.
