He was an administrator of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem and on 9 March 1469 was unanimously chosen as Prior of England, the Order's chief officer in the kingdom. Following the defeat of Edward's supporters by Warwick in 1469 at the Battle of Edgecote Moor he was appointed Treasurer of England by the short-lived regime of the Duke of Clarence and the Earl of Warwick, but was dismissed by Edward when he regained power later in the year. He was reinstated in 1470 after the temporary re-accession of Henry VI, who had been restored with the help of Clarence and Warwick. After the Yorkist victory at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471, where he had shared command of the Lancastrian centre, he sought sanctuary in Tewkesbury Abbey but was taken out and executed in Tewkesbury town centre. 〔〔 John A.
