2nd Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, born before 1150, hereditary Steward of the Household for King Richard I. He was made one of the ambassadors from the English monarch to Philip of France, for obtaining aid toward the recovery of the Holy Land. Upon the return of King Richard from his captivity, the Earl of Norfolk assisted at the great council held by the king at Nottingham; and at his second coronation, he was one of the four earls that carried the silken canopy over the monarch's head. He was summoned to parliament in 1177. In 1191, he was keeper of Hereford Castle. He was Chief Justice in the King's Court from 1195 to 1202. In 1200 he was sent by King John as one of his messengers to summon William the Lion, King of Scotland, to do homage to him in the parliament which was held in Lincoln, and subsequently attended King John into Poitou, but on his return he was won over to the cause by the rebel Barons and became one of the strongest advocates of the Charter of Liberty, for which he was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. He was a Surety of the Magna Charta. He married (1) Isabel Plantaganet, daughter of Hamelin (Hamelyn) Plantaganet, Earl of Warren (Warrenne) and Surrey.
