In 1334, he was appointed Justiciar of North Wales for life, Governor of Carnarvon Castle in 1339, and Sheriff of Shropshire for life, beginning in 1345. He was distinguished in the wars with France, was Admiral of the West 1340-41, and in 1345-47, commanded the 2nd division at the battle of Crecy, as well as being present at the fall Calais in 1347. Upon the death of John de Warrenne (his mother&#39;s brother), he succeeded to the vast estates of the family of Warenne, and upon the death of the said John de Warenne&#39;s wife, Joan, he assumed, in 1361, the title of Earl of Surrey. On 4 Dec 1344, he obtained a Papal mandate for annulment of his first marriage, on the grounds of his minority at marriage, and of never having willingly consented to said marriage, and on 5 Feb 1344/45, he married Eleanor, widow of John de Beaumont, and daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, with whom he had previously cohabited.<br></span></span>
