  Between 1294 and 1297 he campaigned in Gascony.1 From 1298/99 to 16 August 1308 he was summoned to an assembly which met and which by certain past rulings has been designated a Parliament, although neither knights nor burgesses were summoned and under the more rigorous rules of evidence required today would not constitute a sitting giving rise to a peerage.1 He fought in the Siege of Carlaverock in 1300, in King Edward I's army.1 He campaigned in Scotland as late as 1306.4 He lived at Aylesford, Kent, England .1 He lived at Codnor, Derbyshire, England .1 At Hoo, Kent, England , (an unknown value).1
