      Justiciar of Ireland
      He was appointed Justiciar of Ireland, serving from 1245 to 1255.[2] He proved to be a strong, energetic and capable viceroy.[3] The fact that an unusual number of Anglo-Norman lordships at the time were held by minors gave him an opportunity to assert the royal authority more forcefully than previous viceroys, especially in Ulster and Connacht. [4] His interest in Irish affairs was no doubt partly due to his own large landholdings in Ireland, acquired by his marriage to Isabel Bigod, whose mother Maud Marshal was a great Anglo-Irish heiress. [5] He held an assize in Ulster in 1247-8, during which he reorganised the government of the province. He built a bridge over the River Bann at Coleraine, and a fort nearby. He was determined to subdue the powerful Northern Ui Neill dynasties and had some success in doing so.[6]

      Role in the baronial reform movement of 1258
      In 1258 he was one of the leaders of the baronial opposition to king Henry III. On 1 April 1258 Aymer, bishop of Winchester, sent a posse to attack John fitz Geoffrey's men at Shere in Surrey, killing one of them. When a parliament opened at Westminster a week later, John fitz Geoffrey demanded justice from the king; Henry excused Aymer, his half-brother, and refused justice thus angering the barons. On 12 April John formed an alliance with six other magnates to achieve reform.[7]

      Marriage
      He was not entitled to succeed his half-brother as Earl of Essex in 1227, the Earldom having devolved from his father's first wife. He was the second husband of Isabel Bigod, daughter of Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk and his wife Maud Marshal of Pembroke and widow of Gilbert de Lacy.[8] They had six children, one being Maud who married William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick.
