In 1294 he attended the war in Gascony and succeeded to his
          father's properites in 1301. In 1303 and 1304 he was involved with the
          wars against Scotland and in 1307 appointed Governor of Bristol
          Castle. He received grants from King Edward II and was summoned to
          Parliament, by which action he became Lord Badlesmere.
              He obtained a grant of the Castle of Leeds in Kent and, about
          1314, was made Governor of Skipton Castle and of all the castles in
          Yorkshire and Westmorland. He was also Steward of the King's Household
          and, notwithstanding the many favours he had received from the king,
          joined the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster, being defeated with him
          at Boroughbridge on 16 March 1322. Lord Badlesmere was captured at
          Stow Park, attainted, and hung as a traitor at Canterbury.
              His widow, notorious for having refused the Queen admission to the
          Royal Castle of Leeds in the summer of 1321, was besieged there by
          King Edward II and, being captured with the castle on 11 November
          1321, was imprisoned in the Tower of London. On 3 November 1322 she
          was released and died in 1333
