The son of Richard. He was born in Little Crosby about 1185. He died in October 1246. In 1228 he had a commission for the perambulation of the forests of Lancaster county, and paid 40 marks to have 'seizin' of the inheritance from his father. This is the period when the title of Forester of Lancashire was still the hereditary right of the Gernet's. He married Lettice de Brenley (Brinley).
