Of record as a commissioner in 1311, he was among those pardoned in 1313 for

years he was summoned to serve against the Scots. As he was among those who
took arms against the Despensers, he, his brother Richard Talbot of
Richard's Castle, the Earl of Hereford and others were subjects of an order
for arrest dated 15 Jan. 1321/2. The charges included attacking the King's
subjects in Warwickshire and attacking and burning Bridgnorth. Therefore his
lands were taken into the King's hands until further order. On 16 March
1321/2 he was captured in the battle of Boroughbridge, but was allowed to
make a fine for his life and his lands. He was discharged from prison on 11
July, and pardoned 1 Nov. 1322. On 28 Oct. 1322 he had been empowered

was summoned to service in Guienne as a condition of his pardon. On 13 Feb.
1326/7 his fines were cancelled by Edward III, and on 24 Nov. 1327 he was
styled Banneret. In March 1327/8 he was the King's Chamberlain, and the next
month he obtained grants to Eccleswall and Crednhill, as well as Longhope in
Gloucestershire. He was Justice of South Wales on 23 Oct. 1330, and named
his nephew, Rhys ap. Gruffudd, as his Lieutenant. He was summoned to
Parliament from 27 Jan. 1331/2 to 20 April 1343. He also served as keeper of
Bwlch-y-dinas and Blaenllyfni castles in Brecon, as well as Newcastle Emlyn
