Abingdon Abbey. The marriage was never solemnised and they had no children. Pembroke's second marriage to a cousin of the King also reinforced his position in the royal circle. In July 1368 Pembroke married Anne Mauny (24 July 13553 April 1384). She was the daughter of the famous soldier Walter, Lord Mauny, and Margaret, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Norfolk, and later Duchess of Norfolk in her own right. As Anne was a cousin of Pembroke's first wife a papal dispensation was sought for this marriage, and received from the Archbishop of Canterbury on 1 July 1368. In return, the Pope requested that the Earl donate 1,000 gold florins towards the repair of Saint Paul's, Rome. Pembroke was twenty at his second marriage; his bride was thirteen. Pembroke left her in England while he carved out a career for himself in France on royal service. When his father-in-law died, Pembroke sent two of his knights to take possession of all of Mauny's estates in Hainaut (in what is now southern Belgium). Campaigning in France Much of Pembroke's adult life was devoted to royal service, beginning in October 1364 when he was in attendance on King Edward III at Dover. In 1369 he entailed and enfeoffed part of his earldom, with the reversion going to the King; this was granted to his feoffees who then regranted them to him for five years. This effectively created a trust for his heirs, in the event of his death abroad, and if they should also die heirless, the estate would return intact to the King. Pembroke's first active service came in the same year; he accompanied the King's son, Edmund, Earl of Cambridge, on a much-delayed campaign in Aquitaine in south-west France with a force of 400 men-at-arms. This was a reinforcement for the campaign of the King's eldest son, Edward, the Black Prince, which had suffered setbacks following the Prince's intervention in the war of Castilian succession and the French reopening the Hundred Years' War in 1369. Pembroke and Cambridge landed at St Malo, apparently escaping the notice of a local French commander, and marched south to Angoulême, joining the Black Prince there in late April. They arrived at a period of further military setbacks for the English. Archambaud, Count of Périgord, was leading a French force attempting to join the Duke of Anjou; the Earls of Pembroke and Cambridge were tasked with
