• Notes

  "A justice of the common pleas in Essex and Hertfordshire 1272; a knight in May 1276; Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, 1278-1288 when he was removed. Ordered to be imprisoned in the Tower of London, Feb 1290, and to be granted to him his life and limbs if he will confess his felony and abjure the realm." [The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz] Sources differ over whether he died in exile. He appears to have been among the Parisian experts consulted in 1292 by a representative of Edward I on the question of the Scottish succession. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography says that he was ultimately pardoned by Edward, probably in 1297, and allowed to return home.
