In the time that Hubert was secluded from the king. §1233none bare sway under him but Peter B. of Winchester:1 by whose counsel the natural servitors of the king were removed, and strangers placed in greatest offices. To him were joyned Peter de Rivallis his cousin, who had committed to him all the great holds & munitions of the realm. Stephen Segrave who succeeded Hubert, & Robert Passelew, who had the keeping of the treasure under Peter Rival: so that by these, all the affairs of the realm were ordered: & whereof the nobles complaining, through the bishops means could have no audience. So that they sent word to the K. that unless he would without all delay seclude from him Peter B of Winchester, and other Aliens of Pictavia, they would with the common consent of the realm, displace him of his kingdom.2 At which message the king was much perplexed: but Winchester wrought so with him, that the king warred upon the Marshall, with other of the Nobles near two years.
