He was known first as a great rebel to
King Henry III., for which he was excommunicated by the Archbishop of Canterbury; but,
subsequently, returning to his allegiance, as Justice of Chester, in that office he
continued until the 9th year of King Edward I. (1280-1281). In the next year he was in the
expedition made into Wales, and in the 25th year of the same monarch, in that into
Gascony, having previously, by the writ of January 26 in that year, been summoned to the
parliament at Salisbury for the following Sunday, the feast of St. Matthew, September 21,
as Gunselm de Badlesmere. He died four years afterwards, seized of the manor of
Badlesmere, which he held in capite of the crown, as of the barony of Crevequer, by the
service of one knight's fee.
