except for a few months in 1216, when John's cause seemed hopelessly lost. He was also a supporter of Hubert de

Burgh

. In 1225he went on an expedition to Gascony, being wrecked on the Isle of Re on the return voyage. The hardships of this adventure undermined his health, and he died at Salisbury on the 7th of March 1226, and was buried in the cathedral there. The eldest of Longsword's four sons, William (c.1212-125o) did not receive his father's earldom, although he is often called

and was killed in battle with the Saracens in February 1250
