[2] By December 1483, Constable was a knight of the body to King Richard III, and was granted forfeited lands after Buckingham's rebellion.

In any case, he was not attainted, and was granted a pardon by Henry VII on 18 November 1485, was a knight of the body to the King by May 1486, and accompanied him to the wars in France in 1492.

After Northumberland's death, Constable became an associate of Thomas Howard, then Earl of Surrey, who nominated him in 1509 to the Order of the Garter.

[6] In the Church of St Oswald in Flamborough one may still read a rhyming epitaph describing his life and prowess.
