He had letters of protection granted to him in 1295, he then going to Scotland on the king's service. In 1296 he was enrolled for defence of the coast, as a non-resident knight of Sussex. In 1296 the king ordered an enquiry be made regarding the persons who, during the absence of Michael de Poynings in Scotland on the king's service, broke his park at Slaugham, Sussex, hunted therein, and carried away deer. In 1297 he was summoned for service overseas. In 1299 he was granted letters of protection, he then going with Henry de Percy beyond seas. In 1303 John, Earl of Warenne, requested that Chancellor of England grant him protection and exemption, he then going with the said earl in the Scottish war. He and his wife were summoned to attend the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308. He was granted letters of protection in 1308, he then going to France in the company of John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey.
