- Knight of the shire for Yorkshire, Feb 1305 and 1307.
"On 2 September 1304, the constable of Dover castle and warden of the Cinque Ports was ordered to permit Gerard Salvain, knight, and Master Roger de Heselerton, clerk, the king's special envoys to parts beyond sea for the expedition of certain of his affairs there, to cross with their household, horses, arms and other things. On 23 May 1308 he was appointed escheator north of the Trent, and held the office until 10 December 1309. On 5 March 1311, he was granted the office of sheriff of York and keeper of York castle for life, however due to complaints about his conduct during the time when he was escheator and sheriff, he was removed from office on 1 October 1314. On 12 October 1316, he received a royal pardon by ceding to the king the manor of Sandhall, near Skelton in Howdenshire, Yorkshire, and paying a fine of £2000."
