during the Wars of the Roses the family were Yorkists, and on the accession of Edward IV, Walter obtain a grant of general pardon, indemnifying him for any offences which he might have committed in his loyalty to that House. Earlier in 1448, he had entered into one of those curious and interesting indentures of military service with the Earl of Salisbury, whereby he engaged himself to serve the Earl, saving his legiance to the King, at home or overseas with a fully armed and accoutred body of men. His fee was to come out of the profits of the lordship of Penrith; and he undertook to surrender for reasonable reward any prisoner of standing, as also a third of any booty captured.

Walter married Douce Croft [40484] [MRIN: 11468], daughter of Nicholas Croft [40485] and Ellen Butler [40486], on 11 Nov 1426.
