He later became a successful trader, a loyal supporter of the kings Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V, and a generous benefactor of the city and the poor. He married Alice Fitzwarren, the daughter of his master John Fitzwarren, and had no children. He died in 1423 and was buried in St. Michael Paternoster Royal, where he had founded a college and a hospital.
