5th Earl of Hereford, Sheriff of Kent. Created by «b»John I«/b», dated Apr 28, 1199; but the office of Lord High Constable of England he inherited from his father.

He had his lands sequestered, but they were restored at the signing of the Magna Charta, at Runnemede. He was subsequently excommunicated by the «b»Pope«/b», and did not return to his allegiance on the death of «b»King John«/b», but was one of the commanders in the army of «b»Louis le Dauphin«/b», at the battle of Lincoln. He was taken prisoner by «b»William Marshall«/b» at the battle of Lincoln, in the 1st year of «b»Henry III«/b». After this defeat he joined «b»Saire De Quincy«/b», and other Magna Charta barons in a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in Jun, 1220. His body was brought home and buried in the chapter-house of Llanthony Abbey, in Gloucestershire. He was also Sheriff of Kent.
