He continued to administer the honour on behalf of William son of King Stephen, husband of his niece, Isabel, and was his principal adviser. Under the terms of the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry III, he was given the option of having custody of the castles of Bellencombre and Mortemer, belonging to the honour of Warenne in Normandy; he served as a witness to the king's notification of this treaty.
