In 1252 Clarice de Crowcombe, heir of Godfrey de Crowcombe, released the manor of Milton, Cambridgeshire to Eble and Joan his wife, Joan, in tail, with remainder to Eble’s own heirs. In 1254 the king granted him the manor of Pitney, Somerset, to hold until the legal age of the heirs of Sabina del Ortiay [Lorty]. In 1254 he and his brothers, Henri, seigneur of Mont, and Rodolphe, canon of Lausaunne, granted a vineyard to Bonvent convent. In 1258 he was paid 25 marks by the king, which he received in respect of his fee for the lands of Walton and Ewell. In 1257 the king granted him lands in Ketton, Rutland, to be held of the king by the service of one quarter of a knight’s fee. In 1259 at London he witnessed the will of Eble de Genève, son of the deceased Count Humbert de Genève, in favor of Peter of Savoy. In 1259 Annora de Capella granted Eble and Joan his wife one messuage and one carucate of land in Westbury, Buckinghamshire.

In 1267 he was granted the wardship of the lands and serjeantry of the king’s chapel and the office of spigornel of the king’s seal, late of Bartholomew de la Chapelle, deceased."
