[1] Inheriting his grandfather's lands and title as Marshal of Ireland in 1416, he joined the English army of King Henry V that was fighting in France and took part in the battles at Rouen in 1418, Melun in 1420 and Meaux in 1421, commanding a force of ten men-at-arms and thirty archers.
In that year he was appointed to the Privy Council and was with the king at his death in 1422, being one of the banner bearers at his funeral rites at Paris and then at Westminster.
After inheriting the lands of his step-grandmother in 1427, he was summoned to sit as Baron Morley in Parliament for the rest of his life.
In it she mentions her daughter Anne, married to John Hastings in whose house in Norwich she was living when she made her will on 3 May 1463.
Her accounts for that year mention spending three pounds to have her husband's tomb at Hingham painted.
