- Why was Hubert de Burgh replaced with Peter des Roches?
- HDB promoted himself and his own supporters
- began to change English policy in Ireland so that the area under English control was increased
- 'isolated in his greatness' - powicke
- Because H could now grant land in perpetuity HDB was H's greatest beneficiary - annoyed the other earls
- was made Earl of Kent and given hereditary right over the royal castles and lordships in Montgomery, Cardigan, and Carmarthen, makiing him a powerful marcher baron
- Death of Stephen Langton 1225 weakened his position as did the vacancy in Canterbury from 1232
- accusations that HDB had violated MC
- failure of the war in France - support for the conflict had been, at best, half-hearted as he did not own lands in France
