Henry III., and conspicuous among the See also:foreign favourites to whom these sovereigns owed much of their unpopularity, was a Poitevin by extraction
.
He received the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of chamber-lain towards the See also:close of See also:Richard's reign, and under Richard's successor became an influential counsellor
.
In 1205, doubtless through John's See also:influence, he was elected to the see of Winchester
.
His See also:election was disputed but, on See also:appeal, confirmed by See also:Pope See also:Innocent III., who honoured See also:- PETER

None the less, the new bishop stood by his royal See also:patron during the whole See also:period of the See also:interdict
.
In 1213 he was made See also:justiciar in See also:succession to See also:Geoffrey Fitz Peter
.
This promotion was justified by the fidelity with which Peter supported the See also:- KING

At the See also:battle of See also:Lincoln (1217) Peter led a See also:division of the royal See also:army and earned some distinction by his valour; but he played a secondary See also:part in the See also:government so See also:long as See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Marshal held the regency
.
After Marshal's See also:death (1219) Peter led the baronial opposition to See also:Hubert de See also:Burgh, with varying success
.
At first the justiciar was successful
.
In 1221 Peter meditated going on crusade; 1223-1224 saw his party broken up by Hubert's energetic See also:measures; in 1227 was himself dismissed from his office and
turned his back on See also:England to join the crusade of the See also:emperor See also:Frederick II
.
He was absent from England until 1231; but in the meantime enhanced his reputation both as a soldier and diplomatist
.
After the fall of De Burgh he kept in the back-ground, but offices and honours were heaped on his dependants, especially on his See also:nephew, Peter See also:des See also:Rievaulx, and other Poitevins
.
This foreign party triumphed over the revolt which was headed by Richard Marshal in 1233
.
But the See also:primate, See also:Edmund See also:Rich, voiced the See also:general feeling when he denounced Peter as a See also:mischief maker, and demanded that he should be dismissed from See also:court
.
The king complied, and threatened the bishop with charges of malversation
.
Peter was how-ever permitted to leave the See also:country with a See also:pardon (1235); he conciliated See also:- GREGORY

Gregory IX. by rendering efficient aid in a war with the citizens of See also:Rome (1235); and in the next See also:year returned without molestation to his see
.
He was invited to go as the king's See also:envoy to the court of Frederick II., but refused apparently on the See also:score of See also:ill See also:health
.
His public reconciliation with De Burgh (1236), effected through the See also:mediation of the papal See also:legate, provided a dramatic close to their long rivalry, but had no See also:political significance, since both were now living in retirement
.
Peter died in 1238, and was buried at Winchester
.
He was undoubtedly a See also:man of a winning See also:personality, a See also:good diplomat and financier, a statesman whose unpopularity was due in some measure to his freedom from the insularity of the Englishmen, against whom he matched himself
.
But his name is associated with a worthless clique of favourites, and with the first steps which were taken by Henry III. to establish a feeble and corrupt See also:autocracy
