However, he was still alive; in 1462, he was with the exiled Margaret of Anjou in France. He had returned to England by the Readeption of Henry VI in 1470, and may have been returned to the 1470-71 Readeption Parliament. Following the Battle of Tewkesbury in May 1471, he was again reported dead, executed along with other Lancastrian prisoners, but again this was a false report, and he survived to be pardoned in December 1471. He was returned to Parliament a third or fourth time, for Grimsby, in the Parliament of 1472-75, where he successfully arranged for his attainder to be annulled. He rose again under the new regime, being made a justice of the peace in 1475 and securing sinecure posts overseeing the Port of London in 1477 and 1478.
