He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for
Yarmouth, Isle of Wight in 1586 and for
Aylesbury in 1593. He was knighted in 1587. It is probable, though uncertain, that he had previously represented Chichester in the 1571 Parliament and East Looe in the 1572 Parliament.[3]
In 1597 he petitioned the
House of Lords to have the precedence of the original barony, 1299, on the basis that he actually held the ancient peerage. After his claim was admitted, he sometimes referred to himself as 11th Baron.
