King See also:Alexander III. in 1285, Edward interfered in the affairs of See also:Scotland, he employed Bek on this business, and in 1294 he sent him on a See also:diplomatic errand to the See also:German king, Adolph of See also:Nassau. Taking See also:part in Edward's See also:campaigns in Scotland, the bishop received the surrender of See also:John de See also:Baliol at
See also:Brechin in 1296, and led one See also:division of the See also:English See also:army at the See also:battle of See also:Falkirk in 1298. Soon after his return to See also:England he became involved in a See also:quarrel with See also:Richard de Hoton, See also:prior of Durham. Deposed and excommunicated by Bek, the prior secured the king's support; but the bishop, against whom other complaints were preferred, refused to give way, and by his obstinacy incurred the lasting enmity of Edward. In 1302, in obedience to the command of See also:Pope See also:Boniface VIII., he visited See also:Rome on this See also:matter, and during his See also:absence the king seized and administered his lands, which, however, he recovered when he returned and submitted to Edward. He continued, however, to pursue Richard with unrelenting hostility, and was in his turn seriously harassed by the king. Having been restored to the royal favour by Edward II, who made him See also:lord of the Isle of See also:Man, the bishop died at Eltham on the 3rd of See also:March 1311. A man of See also:great courage and See also:energy, chaste and generous, Bek was remark-able for his haughtiness and ostentation. Both as a bishop and as a private individual he was very wealthy, and his See also:household and See also:retinue were among the most magnificent in the See also:land. He
was a soldier and a See also:hunter rather than a bishop, and built castles at Eltham and elsewhere.
