Later he went to Scotland, and in the 18th year of the reign of Richard II, he was the ambassador to Scotland. During this time at a banquet where the talk was of feats of arms, he exclaimed, "Let words have no place; if ye know not the chivalry and valiant deeds of Englishmen, appoint me a day and place when ye list, and ye shall have experience." David, Earl of Crawford, accepted the challenge, and London Bridge appointed as the place of combat. They fought on St. George’s Day, with Earl David the victor.
