With Sir Henry Jerningham he was among the principals who rallied to Mary's cause following the death of Edward VI in 1553 and helped to set her upon the throne. He was a senior figure in the kinship group of Catholic recusant landowning knights of Suffolk.

Among the foremost Englishmen of his time, he occupied prominent and honourable positions and was of unquestioned loyalty.
