  • Notes 
    • Edward IV of England made him a Knight Bachelor in 1481. In 1495 he was made a Knight of the Garter. He fought against the Cornish rebels at Blackheath, London in 1497. He was appointed warden-general of the eastern marches in 1503.

      He served in the War of the League of Cambrai (1508–1516) with a great retinue of his own. He notably served under Henry VIII of England at the Battle of the Spurs, 16 August 1513. The battle was a decisive victory over the forces of Jacques de la Palice, general of Francis I of France.

      He was appointed a member of the Council of the North in 1522.
