Career
He appears as a justice itinerant for Warwickshire and Leicestershire in 1177, in the following year for Lincolnshire, and in 1179, on the redistribution of circuits which then took place, he was assigned for the eastern circuit. On several occasions between the latter years of Henry II"s reign and the third of John, 1201-1202, we find him acting as tallager in various counties. He is classed as a baron in the record of a fine levied before him in the exchequer in 1183, and in 1189-1190 we find him acting with the barons in assessing imposts in the midland counties.
He was lord of the Shene Manor in Surrey, and of that Wroxton Manor in Oxfordshire.
The last fine recorded by Dugdale as having been levied before him is dated 1199. He likely died early in the thirteenth century.
