On his return to England he dissented from Duns Scotus. He was preceptor to king Edward III about 1337. He wrote Commentaries on the Sentences, and a large number of philosophical treatises, only a part of which have been published. See Mosheim, Hist. of the Church, bk. iii, cent. xiv, pt. ii, ch. ii.
