He lived at time of Henry II. This Bertram built the medieval castle of Alton in 1176 and founded the cistercian abbey of Croxden. Bertram was a deeply religious man accompanying king Henry on his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in North of Spain. After the John's first expedition to Ireland, Bertram held the town of Dundalk and several castles in Louth.
After Henry’s death Bertram remained an influential figure with Richard I and became his castellan. He went on the Third Crusade with Richard, was governor of Saint-John of Acre, and was killed at Jaffa in 1191.
