A professor of canon law, he did fealty (the fidelity of a vassal or feudal tenant to his lord) and had livery (legal possession) of lands in England and Ireland. Before his barony, he was known as "Magister Johanni de Sancto Amando". He was summoned to serve in the Parliament from January 8, 1313 to October 10, 1326 as Lord St. Amand. He married Joan Margaret, daughter of Hugh le Despencer, Earl of Winchester, in December of 1313. His mother-in-law was Isabel, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick.
