He was a Mercer.
He had been convicted in the 1360s for threatening a jury and which may have meant that he was involved in an opposition faction agitating against the Crown.{{sfn|Nightingale|1989|p=6-7}}
He was elected by a new electoral system brought in under the anti-Gaunt atmosphere surrounding the Good Parliament that was seen as favouring the lesser trades. He was deposed in 1377 in the aftermath of riots against John of Gaunt{{sfn|Prescott|2004}} to placate Gaunt and was replaced by the rich merchant Nicholas Brembre.{{sfn|Round|1886}}
