biographical and/or
anecdotal:
He was the Joint Governor of Normandy 1180-1184. He was the Steward
of England 1205-1207. He was created Earl of Winchester, by King John in 1207. He
was present at Lincoln, when William, King of Scotland, did homage to the English
monarch, and he subsequently obtained large grants and immunities from King John;
when, however, the baronial war broke out, his pennant waved on the side of freedom,
and he became so eminent among the chiefs, that he was chosen one of the twenty-five
barons, a Surety, appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Charta, in 1215.
Adhering to the same party, after the accession of King Henry III., the Earl of Winchester
had a principal command at the battle of Lincoln, and there being defeated, he was
taken prisoner by the royalists. But submitting in the following October, he had
restitution of all his lands; and proceeded soon after in company with the Earls
of Chester and Arundel, and others of the nobility, to the Holy Land. A leader of
the First Crusade, he assisted at the siege of Damietta, in 1219, and died in the
Holy Land on November 3, 1219, progressing toward Jerusalem.
