He was summoned to Parliament, by writs directed Johanni Lovel, chr., from 9 October 1459 to 28 February 1462/3. In 1459 he was a trier of petitions. In December 1459 he was made master forester of Wychwood for his good services against Richard, Duke of York, and the Nevills. He and other Lancastrian lords made an effort to secure London for Henry VI in June 1460, but were defeated. Next year the victorious Edward IV took possession of Lovel's lands.
