In 1346-47 he took part in the siege of Calais, and was probably at the battle of Cressy in the earlier year. He was one of the founders of the Order of the Knights of the Garter, which took place during a series of jousts held in 1347 and 1348. He was concerned in the treaty of the peace of Bretigny on 8 May 1360. He was still involved in continental fighting when he died in December 1364 at the age of 44, possibly from injuries received in battle. [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6402]
