He succeeded his father prior to 14 May, 1392 when he witnessed a charter. He was superior of the lands of Balderston in Linlithgowshire, of which lands he granted a charter to Adam Forrester on 3 Mar,1395. In 1398, when returning from France with Sir John de Hamilton of Fingaltoun, and some other Scottish gentlemen, they were captured at sea by the English, and upon complaint made by the Scottish government to King Richard that they were captured in violation of the truce between Scotland and England the King issued an order, dated 28 Oct, 1398, for them to be liberated and the ship and goods restored or their value refunded. He was one of the Scottish commissioners appointed for receiving the oath of King Richard for the fulfillment of the truce with Scotland in the year 1399. Some time after, he was present on the border with the Duke of Albany, when he and the Duke of Lancaster, on the part of England, prolonged the truce between the two countries.
