Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Essex, pp. 118-120). At his brother's death he was with THIERRY, COUNT OF FLANDERS. Returning home, he was girded with the sword of the Earldom [of Essex], and obtained possession of all his brother's lands, except the office of Constable of the Tower. During the 1173 revolt he remained faithful to KING HENRY II and was a commander in the north of France. In 1177 he went on crusade with Philippe, Count of Flanders [the son of the above-mentioned THIERRY]. They assisted the Count of Tripoli in his ineffectual siege of Harenc, being thus fruitlessly occupied on the day of the great battle of Ramleh, where King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem scattered the hosts of Saladin. In 1179 he attended KING LOUIS VII OF FRANCE on his pilgrimage to Canterbury, and was an ambassador to the EMPORER FREDERICK BARBAROSSA (RIN 2100) in 1181.
In 1184 he assisted Count Philippe of Flanders against BALDWIN, COUNT OF HAINAULT. He was one of the four generals who were appointed in 1187 to conduct the war with France. In 1189 he was joint Justiciar of England. He died in Normandy while on a mission to KING PHILIP AUGUSTUS OF FRANCE.
As he died childless, his heir was his aunt, BEATRICE DE MANDEVILLE, who had married WILLIAM DE SAY.
