In 4th of Henry IV, 1399-1414, he was preeminently distinguished against Owen Glendower, whose banner he captured and put the rebel to flight, and about the same time he won fresh laurels in the memorable Battle of Shrewsbury against the Percys, after which he was made K. G. In the 9th of Henry IV he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and en route the King of France, in reverence of that Holy Feast, made him sit at his table, and at his departure sent an herald to conduct him safely through the realm. When he came to Jerusalem, he had much respect showed him, and having performed his offering at the sepulchre of our Savior he set up his arms on the north side of the temple. At the coronation of Henry V the earl was constituted High Steward of England. In the 3rd year of that king he was at Calais, and the next year he was at Caen, and upon the surrender of that place was appointed Governor of the Castle.

General of the whole realm of France and Duchy of Normandy. The Earl, who had been created Earl of Albermarle for life, in 1417, died in his Castle of Roan in his French Government on April 30, 1439.
