“The little that remains to be said of this Baron, may be related in a
very few words. In 1313 he received letters of safe conduct from the
King, for all his dominions; in June in the following year he was
present at the fatal battle of Bannockburn, and was regularly summoned
to parliament from the 6th February, 27th Edward I. 1299, to the 29th
July, 8th Edward II. 1314. He died in 1315, and was buried in the Abbey
of Fountains in Yorkshire; and by Eleanor his wife, daughter of John
Earl of Arundel, who survived him, he left issue. Henry his eldest son,
then aged sixteen years; and William, who was made a Knight of the
Bath, 20th Edward II. and died in 1355.”
