Parents are first cousins.
Half-brother to Henry III of England
In 1247, a year after their mother's death, siblings Alice, William, Aymer and Guy, accompanied the new papal legate William of Modena, the Cardinal Bishop of Sabina, to England.
Henry heaped benefits on the siblings, granting them important positions and many incomes, at the expense of the barons. They were not very well liked by the English nobility.
1258, Served on the committee at Oxford with his brothers William and Aymer at the king's behest and were later (due to intense dislike and the fact that they had spoken out against the committee rulings - that they, as foreigners would have to give up their lands) besieged at Amyer's castle at Winchester and forced to leave the country.
Fought in the Battle of Lewes in 1264 during the Second Barons' War and said (by most online accounts) to have been killed. There is an alternate claim that he escaped after the Battle of Lewes (with Earl Warenne and other leaders) and fled to France, where he died many years later.
