He had a leading honorable role in the wars with France holding the position of Admiral of the West in 1340/41 and 1345/47. He commanded the second division in the battle of Crecy and was at the fall of Calais in 1347.

He had two wives. His first marriage was annulled by papal decree after 24 years of marriage. This occurred in 1344 on the grounds of his minority and his having never consented to the match. He married Lady Eleanor in the same year. He died at age 70 as was buried at Lewes. (C-437, p.582-3)
