1200 Stephen held many minor offices and performed a variety of
services for KING JOHN & KING HENRY III. In 1229 he was Chief Justice.
In 1230, Hubert de Burgh, the Justiciar, having crossed to France with
THE KING, entrusted the government of the realm to Stephen and the
Bishop of Chichester. In 1230 Stephen was sheriff of 5 counties. In
1231 he and the Bishop of Chichester heard the dispute between THE
KING and the citizens of London. In 1231/2 he was sent to the marches
to put in order irregularities after the truce with LLEWELYN THE GREAT
(RIN 1084). Upon the fall of Hubert de Burgh in 1232, Stephen was made
Justiciar of England. In 1233, with Piers, Bishop of Winchester and
Robert Passelewe, he was advising KING HENRY II on all matters of state.
In 1234 Stephen fell from THE KING's favor, but by 1239 was recalled to
the council and was busily occuopied in its affairs in spite of his age,
becoming THE KING's chief counsellor.
